I started having a similar issue with the 3.6 series of kernels. My ups is detected fine in 3.5.x, but in 3.6.x its not detected by Gnome. Nut can detect it, but I was happy just using Gnome's basic power functions. Dmesg output when I connect it in the two kernels are pretty much the same. dmesg when connected in 3.5.x [ 200.802575] usb 4-3: >new low-speed USB device number 4 using ohci_hcd [ 200.960929] usb 4-3: >New USB device found, idVendor=0764, idProduct=0501 [ 200.960941] usb 4-3: >New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=1, SerialNumber=0 [ 200.960948] usb 4-3: >Product: CP 1350C [ 200.960953] usb 4-3: >Manufacturer: CPS [ 201.029318] hid-generic 0003:0764:0501.0006: >hiddev0,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Device [CPS CP 1350C] on usb-0000:00:12.0-3/input0 dmesg when connected in 3.6.x [ 100.932977] usb 4-3: new low-speed USB device number 4 using ohci_hcd [ 101.090392] usb 4-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0764, idProduct=0501 [ 101.090403] usb 4-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=1, SerialNumber=0 [ 101.090410] usb 4-3: Product: CP 1350C [ 101.090415] usb 4-3: Manufacturer: CPS [ 101.160753] hid-generic 0003:0764:0501.0006: hiddev0,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Device [CPS CP 1350C] on usb-0000:00:12.0-3/input0

There was a recent update to upower to fix issues detecting USPs. If you update upower and reboot, does it appear as you'd expect?
My ups seems to be detected normally again using upower 0.9.19.
Great, thanks for letting us know. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 848521 ***
