could you please send us a driver debug output for investigation purpose.
Ie, after having stopped the running NUT instance, launch:
$ sudo /lib/nut/apcsmart -DDDDD -a <device-id-from-ups.conf>

let it run for a few seconds / minutes (at least, have a couple of issue
reproduction), then break using Ctrl+C. Don't forget to relaunch NUT then...

cheers,
Arnaud
