Hello,
for me the USB works on FreeBSD 6.0 with custom kernell. Please find notes
on
http://wiki.botka.homeunix.org/bin/view/Main/NetworkUpsToolsUsb
There has been a thread about this issue recently. I wonder that your USB
attaches to /dev/ugen0 on FreeBSD 6.0. I had to disable uhid driver to
get ugen. All these problems are solved on 6.1 with libusb 0.1.12 has
been reported.
Cheers,
-vlado

I get quite a number of IO errors - it seems these come from libusb but I am
not sure under what circumstances it returns it.
This is a 6.0 machine running NUT 2.0.3 - has anyone been able to connect to a
USB UPS with FreeBSD?
Thanks.
