Todd/Stuart, thanks for the responses. Permissions set correctly on /dev/usb1 -- the device the UPS is connected to. And I had been through the package readme. A couple of times!
As is often the case I was making this much more complicated than it was. The NUT package installer created the directory /etc/nut: drwxr-x--- 2 root wheel When `upsd` was trying to read the `ups.conf` file in /etc/nut it was getting a permissions error. Fixed now and upsd is running fine.
