Thanks for suggestions
I've attached (con) listings of 'lsusb' & 'ls-lR /proc/bus/usb'
everything looks OK with 'root:root' & '-rw-rw-rw-'
(ups is 0925:1234)
when
'sudo /lib/nut/richcomm_usb -D -a vix2120 -u root' was run
I got
>Network UPS Tools - Richcomm dry-contact to USB driver 0.04 (2.6.2)
>Warning: This is an experimental driver.

if I manually created '/var/run/nut'
and reran - it ran (as per attached) until ^C
I then ran 'sudo upsdrvctl -D -u root start' and it ran :
>sudo upsdrvctl -u root start
>Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.1
>Network UPS Tools - Richcomm dry-contact to USB driver 0.04 (2.6.2)

It also responded if I disconnected the usb cable.
so it seems that permissions are the cause - but where?
(/etc/nut has owner:group nut:root)
I don't think it is relevent but I had originally installed 2.6.1 from
'Debian' (without richcomm_usb) and then built 2.6.2 as per Arnaud's
instructions - just copying ...nut/drivers/richcomm_usb to /lib/nut
(not nut/drivers/.libs/richcomm_usb to /lib/nut - drivers/.libs was
empty) I didn't overwrite anything else.
Hope this helps
As I said - I don't have a feel for what's involved yet - still reading
the manual.
Thanks

Some features may not function correctly.

What does 'ls -lR /proc/bus/usb' say?
Also, what if you try 'sudo /lib/nut/richcomm_usb -D -a vix2120 -u root'?
Sorry I don't really understand what's happening.
'Operation not permitted' means there's probably a permissions error, in this
case on the node in /proc/bus/usb corresponding to your UPS.
