[Nut-upsdev] newhidups (2.03-pre2) not working with APC Back-UPS

[Peter Selinger]

My wife has an APC Back-UPS ES 650, and ups.status is reported
normally.

The way to solve the puzzle is to post the USB's Usage Tree to the
list; you can generate it by running

./drivers/newhidups -u root -DD -a UPS auto

and copy/pasting the debugging output, particularly the lines starting
with "Path".
