The permissions on /dev/hiddev* nodes are not relevant - all of the
NUT USB drivers (except energizerups) bypass that interface. The
drivers use libusb, which uses either /dev/bus/usb/*/* or
/proc/bus/usb/*/* (strace seems to indicate it is /dev/bus/usb on your
system).

Check the scripts/udev directory for more details on how to fix this.

For testing, you can just add "-u root" to the command line.
