Hi Peter, Thanks for a quick reply too. I knew you guys were good, but had no 
idea!

I thought this might be the case since I could find no mention of anything 
like it.

Gathered that. That is why I was trying to get 2.0.5 or even 2.1 to work. I 
knew I was flirting with diaster by moving things around, but it never hurts 
to try. This laptop has been sitting on a shelf for a while. I have no qualms 
about thowing the CD back in and reloading the whole shebang once I break it 
(I've already had to do that once, but that was last weekend playing with 
something different).

As for building from the SVN source, I couldn't make that work. autoreconf 
dropped out with automake errors. After several tries and lots of research, 
found out I had versions of several things that were not the correct 
versions. I have corrected those problems and it appears I have compiled the 
thing correctly. See below...

I assume you mean:
usbhid-ups -u root -DD -x productid=4003 auto

That command did indeed produce significant output. Several of the lines are 
long. I will be happy to attach the output file if you'd like. In the 
meantime, here you go:

    # ./usbhid-ups -u root -DD -x productid=4003 auto
