I haven't been able to get it to run any other way - newhidups outputs
(non-root and root) below.
Right. The fact that it works when both the driver and upsd are passed
"-u root" points to a permissions problem.
Basically, you need to pass the same system user to "-u" on both the
driver and upsd.
How?

Users in ups.users are not connected to the system user IDs, but they
are one part of the system used to prevent random users from being
able to shut down the system.
