Note that you have a typo error.
the directive is "upsmon master", not "nutmon master".

moreover, as Arjen stated, you need to tell if/what the NUT user can do.
the prefered way is to have a separate user for this, like:

        [admin]
                password = dummypass
                actions = SET
                instcmds = ALL

cheers,
Arnaud
