Looks like I've been barking up the wrong tree. It seems that USB 
scanner support doesn't use udev at all.

According to http://www.exactcode.de/oss/avision/index.html the 
"avision" backend should provide at least limited functionality for your 
scanner. See "man sane-avision" for details (you'll need to have the 
sane-backends package installed).

P.S. Please don't post HTML to this mailing list.
