This patch (committed after 2.6.0 was released) claims to restore
2.4.1 behavior:

All of the above are irrelevant here. The driver runs fine when started as
root, so this must be a permissions problem.
The original problem that r2407 addressed (which I also experienced)
manifested similarly, in that running as root it would work, running as
non-root it would not. I don't know enough about usb/libusb to have any
clue why that would be, but it was.
So I tried applying the diff from r2893 to the Debian nut 2.6.0-1 source
package and building that, and lo and behold it now works as non-root!
Also, when running as root before, it spat out a lot of warnings while
fetching the reports, now it spits out none. While I didn't really
understand the warnings before, I'd assume that not generating them is a
sign of things working better.
Given that there doesn't seem to have been a new release of libusb0 in
something like four or five years, then if this really does need to be fixed
at the libusb level, I suspect the first thing that will have to happen is
nut moving to libusb1.
