Perhaps things are all up but came up in the incorrect order ?? If  
lircd started before the devices were created for example, you would  
have problems (I had that problem once).

Have you tried re-starting lircd ? Checked permissions on the devices  
and checked that the processes were started by the correct user?

If it worked once it should work again.

If I were you I would check all of the above after you get back from  
the store that sells UPS devices :-)
