apcusbd - Debian

[Merv Curley]

I installed this package to communicate with my APC U.P.S

Set the config file as suggested in the manual.   Started the daemon.

Checking /var/log/   This message had been logged.

However this is what dmesg has to say

----
hiddev96: USB HID v1.10 Device [APC Back-UPS ES 500 FW:2.e2.D USB FW:e2] on 
usb-0000:00:10.1-1
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver

----

Any body any experience with this and can give a pointer or two.  I didn't 
find USB troubleshooting in the manual.  In the .conf file I had
DEVICE   the first time and then tried
DEVICE /dev/usb/hiddev[0-15] which as I read it shouldn't be needed.  However 
the same error message is logged for both.  
I gather the cable etc is ok if the APC unit is found during the boot process.
