Nut upsdev - Jul 2011 - Same Box, Moved install to different drive, now get Connection failure: Connection refused??

Arjen, All,

   I need help unwrapping my head from around the problem of getting nut running
on the same machine it runs fine with on another drive!! Sound easy -- not here
:)

   I have network-ups-tools 2.4.1-2 on two servers. On one server I had a raid 
drive fail (which I'm still booting from and running nut on just fine). I
bought
a second pair of drives to establish a new array in the box which is up and 
running just fine except for nut. The daemon.log shows the following error:

Jul 26 21:09:11 nirvana usbhid-ups[2139]: Startup successful
Jul 26 21:09:11 nirvana upsmon[2142]: Startup successful
Jul 26 21:09:11 nirvana upsmon[2143]: UPS [nirvana_ups at localhost]: connect 
failed: Connection failure: Connection refused
Jul 26 21:09:11 nirvana upsmon[2143]: Communications with UPS 
nirvana_ups at localhost lost
Jul 26 21:09:16 nirvana upsmon[2143]: UPS [nirvana_ups at localhost]: connect 
failed: Connection failure: Connection refused
Jul 26 21:09:16 nirvana upsmon[2143]: UPS nirvana_ups at localhost is
unavailable
Jul 26 21:09:21 nirvana upsmon[2143]: UPS [nirvana_ups at localhost]: connect 
failed: Connection failure: Connection ref

I have the exact same nut user and nut groups on this new install, both same UID
and GID. I have copied my /etc/ups file-for-file from old-array to new-array, 
but still I get the connection refused error with 'upsc ups_name at
localhost. If I
boot back to the old array drive (old drive)G, then it works perfectly. I have 
been focusing my feeble mind on this task this evening, and I'm out of ammo.
Where can the hidden causes of this Connection failure: Connection refused error
be coming from?

When run on the original drive, upsc works just fine:

but on the other box, I get 'connection refused' errors with upsc. What
part of
the puzzle am I missing? I know this is a forest-for-the-trees issue -- anybody 
have any thought which tree I might look behind?  Thanks for any help you can 
provide.

   The config is a direct copy. 'cp -a /mnt/old/etc/ups /etc/ups'. The
files are:

         instcmds = ALL


   I can't figure out why I'm getting the connection refused when I boot
from
the new drive. I have the same /etc/hosts, same /etc/hosts.allow. When I try and
debug with 'usbhid-ups  -DD -a nirvana_ups', I get:

   I know the answer is probably staring me in the face, but I could sure use a 
bit of help seeing it.

Sorry for the noise :)
