I added the user that normally logons onto that machine to the nut 
group.  Different error now:


mythuser at amethi:~$ upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4)
USB communication driver 0.33
kill: Operation not permitted
writepid: fopen /run/nut/usbhid-ups-cyberpowerAmethi.pid: Permission denied
