Now that libusb-1.0 is becoming more mainstream, we should probably  
update our documentation.

As you found out, there are two incompatible APIs: 0.1 and 1.0.

 From what I can tell, libusb-1.0 does not offer much beyond what we  
already get from libusb-0.1.12. So, for the foreseeable future, we  
will probably stick to the libusb-0.1 API.

The simple solution for now is to use 0.1.12. I think I remember  
hearing that both can be installed at once, but NUT is currently  
looking for 0.1.x.

Hopefully I will have some time later today to take a more in-depth  
look at your original problem. On the other hand, if the driver is  
working in debug mode, our efforts might be better spent on creating a  
solid example launchd script for running the driver.
