apcupsd problems on FC7

I have an APC UPS supporting one of our web servers and would like to 
keep SELinux enabled, but the apcupsd is unable to run its support 
script /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol when a power out even occurs. This script 
is needed to gracefully inform users and power off the machine cleanly.

I've tried writing a local policy, but just seem to propagate the problem:

module local 1.0;

require {
         type bin_t;
         type apcupsd_t;
         type net_conf_t;
         type etc_t;
         type shell_exec_t;
         type hostname_exec_t;
         type proc_t;

         class file { read execute getattr execute_no_trans };
         class dir search;
         class lnk_file read;
}

#============= apcupsd_t ==============
allow apcupsd_t etc_t:file execute;
allow apcupsd_t etc_t:file execute_no_trans;
allow apcupsd_t net_conf_t:file read;
allow apcupsd_t bin_t:dir search;
allow apcupsd_t bin_t:lnk_file read;
allow apcupsd_t shell_exec_t:file execute;
allow apcupsd_t shell_exec_t:file read;

allow apcupsd_t bin_t:file { read getattr execute execute_no_trans };
allow apcupsd_t hostname_exec_t:file { read execute getattr };
allow apcupsd_t proc_t:file {read getattr};
