You might be better off re-asking your question on the mailing lists at 
http://www.networkupstools.org/.  I guess it's possible that the hidups 
driver doesn't support the Cyber Power protocol on USB yet.  But I doubt 
anyone here knows if they haven't spoken up already.  You already have 
information about the things to watch for configuring nut for FC4 that 
will help you implement any suggestions you get there.

Good luck.
