I can confirm that allowing the default nut non-privileged user (on
freebsd "uucp") access on the usb bus itself solves the problem.
My /etc/devfs.rules is now as follows:
[nut_usb=10]
add path 'usb1' group wheel user uucp mode 0660
add path 'ugen0' group wheel user uucp mode 0660
where "usb1" is the /dev/usb1 bus that the ups is connected to, and
"ugen0" is the cyberpower ups itself.
/etc/rc.conf has the line
devfs_system_ruleset="nut_usb"
to actually enable it.
Thanks for pointing in the correct direction!
