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.
