APC UPS Not Working

[Graham86]

When I try to start the UPS Service I get this

Did a bit of testing and cu -l /dev/cuau0 -s 2400 does allow me to connect so the connection is fine.

UPS communication over serial interface is broken in FreeNAS 8.0.4. You have to go back to 8.0.3.

Still seems to be broke in FreeNAS-8.2.0-BETA2-x64 (r10638)
