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.
