Help please. USB HID problem (was Re: Nut can't open Mini-Box OPEN-UPS2)

Hello again,

I sent this a couple of weeks ago and haven't had any replies. I'm sure 
that somebody recognises the USB error, even if they don't know anything 
about Nut or the UPS. So I've resent this with a slightly more general 
subject line.

Other people with similar problems on Linux have mentioned HID devices.

Can somebody please help me.

Thanks,

   Graham
