you should read /usr/share/doc/nut/README.Debian.gz
since I presume you have already configured /etc/nut/*, I think you've
missed (6) /etc/default/nut

as a side note, if you're the owner of an USB UPS, you should really
like the new NUT HAL binding. A single package to install, you plug
your UPS and you're protected. Still work in progress.
