Yes this is the file. What is the version of your libusb ?
The new libusb-0.1.12 use the /dev so it should populate
the /dev/bus/usb/00x/00x and set the permissions by udev
by the means of this file.

So do as Charles say that you check the user and group nut is set to run
as. Some dists use 'nutuser' then you have to change the GROUP="nut" to
the right group for your dist.

This should be taken care of by the people that make up the rpm as the
rules in file take the configure setting --with-user to set this during
configuration of the build.

There have been some changes around the handling of the proc
file systems in the newer kernels so what is your kernel version ?
