not at all.
the value of "port", as for other NUT USB drivers, is not used.
the "auto" keyword is simply a standard value, but you could put whatever
you want, such as a physical path.

I don't see any particular reason to the original failure, but having more
info on the context would help.
it could simply be that udevadm trigger has been run somehow, by you or
another package installation...

as for the race condition, I have to check other bug reports.

cheers,
Arnaud
