Have you looked to the usb device permission?
After the latest upgrade I did (kernel, libusbx, systems-tools and a lot of other stuffs), upsd wouldn’t connect.
But as described on the AUR page, the package must be recompiled, with an addition to the configure command to put the udev rules in the correct directory.
Cf. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5379
Best regards.

Thanks Nicolas,

  Yes, I incorporated that into the PKGBUILD before rebuilding:

build() {
  cd $srcdir/nut-$pkgver
  ./configure --with-user=nut \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --datadir=/usr/share/ups \
    --sysconfdir=/etc/ups \
    --with-group=nut \
    --with-hal \
    --with-usb \
    --with-udev-dir=/etc/udev || return 1

  That looked right, but now doesn't make sense since the rules are in
pkg/lib/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules. The new post today to the AUR package
corrects the issue:

"Those udev rules were moved to /usr/lib/udev/rules.d, so
--with-udev-dir=/usr/lib/udev might be a better option."

  That makes sense -- I'll give it a go.
