This is also occurring here. I suspect that my kernel upgrade from 2.6.21 to 2.6.22 has changed something with HID(hmm didn't notice you were on 2.6.21 now I have no idea).

Please post your apcupsd.conf file. In mine there was a line specifying a specific device that was causing this error commenting out the device line and letting it autodetect resolved. Since the error messages we are receiving are identical I believe this will also resolve your issue. This bug can probably be marked as INVALID.
you were correct. There was probably a change I wasn't aware of.
