Nut upsuser - Jul 2006 - Shutdown Problem

Hi

I'm hoping someone can help.

I'm running fc5 with nut 2.0.3. I just recently acquired 2 Gamatronic 
SmartCompact ups for my Linux boxes. As you can see from the info below, 
everything looks ok. When I unplug the ups from the wall, after a while, the 
computer shutdowns very rudely. That it is just turns off. No scrolling down 
of processes shutting down It does not seem shutdown cleanly. Any ideas as to 
why this may be so?

Config files follow below.

Thanks 

Eli

Using FC4, I vaguely remember following the instructions here:

   http://fedoranews.org/contributors/kazutoshi_morioka/nut/

and problems ensued if I did not use "MODEL=upsdrvctl" (even if there
was only one UPS).

Is upsmon running?

Do the system logs from the power failure show anything out of the ordinary?

This is from a successful shutdown last week:
