There is a typo in the specification of "port =" in the dummy-ups man page, but your
configuration file is effectively looking for a simulation file named 'eaton1'. The presence of an
"@" character enables repeater mode. If you change this to 'port = eaton1@localhost',
things should work as you described.
I should also mention a pair of options that were introduced in 2.7.2: maxretry
and retrydelay.

I haven't used dummy-ups in production (I just use the other mode to simulate
an UPS) but I suspect there might be a race condition if upsdrvctl starts
dummy-ups before both usbhid-ups instances connect to upsd.
Not sure if there is a backport of NUT 2.7.2 to 12.04, but it might be worth
looking into. Or you could manually add something to rc.local that restarts
dummy-ups if it is not running, but usbhid-ups is.
Thanks Charles,
You're right that it should be "eaton1@localhost". That was actually
just a one-off mistake in making a simple example to post. The errors
are the same even with the correct "@localhost". I will look into
whether there's a backport to 12.04, as a race condition seems logical.
I'm glad to hear that my use case should be supported though, as I was a
little unsure.
Thanks,
Jon
