Along the same lines, the manual, sec. 6, says

Create the state path directory for the driver(s) and server to use

owned by the user you created.
mkdir -p /var/state/ups
chmod 0770 /var/state/ups
chown root:nut /var/state/ups

Shouldn't "root" be "ups" here?
Not necessarily. If the group is "nut", then the 2nd "7" in the mode (g
+rwx) should allow NUT to write the appropriate files.
Glad you found the right permissions to set (per later email).
