Nut upsuser - Dec 2010 - Things seem to be working but upscmd does nothing

The nut ups daemons seem to be communicating with the UPS but upscmd 
gives me no joy.   Running commands do nothing and produce no output.  
Using the web interface returns an authentication failure and that is 
the only clue I  have.  I believe I have everything setup correctly but 
it's not working.  Can someone review this and give me clues as to what 
I should research next?

<ups.conf>
[Hagrid]
         driver = usbhid-ups
         port = /dev/apcusb
         product = "Smart-UPS 2200 XL FW:690.19.D USB FW:7.4"
         serial = JS1005032730
         desc = "Primary 2200XL with huge battery pack - the big guy"

This is something that needs fixing in 'upscmd'. It erroneously  
doesn't print the server response after sending off a command, which  
is very confusing. I already fixed this in the development version a  
couple of minutes ago.

Looks good.

Fine.

If this is all there is in this file, you've missed setting up the  
permitted instcmds and actions for this user. See 'man 5 upsd.users'  
for an explanation. Failing to set this up, will default to not  
allowing instcmds and variable settings at all.
