This might not be helpfull, but is udev now setting the permissions on that serial port restrictive enough that nut cannot use it? After heyu was refused at midnight 1/1/16 when I have a cron job upload the next years schedule for some lights on the front deck, I found /dev/ttyUSB0 was set to root:root for ownership, and 0700 permissions. Meaning only root could use it. I just had a similar situation using heyu on /dev/ttyUSB0. I could not find the udev rule that had changed it, so I took the next best route, got root and put a chmod and a chown of that port in my /etc/rc.local file, which runs last at bootup. And heyu is once again a happy camper. This might not be your problem, but its something to check.
