Scanner does not work as user

Hi,
following problem:
My scanner, Mustek 1200 CU (USB), is not recognized as user:
[liquidat at gries8-096177 user]$ scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BT878 video (Hauppauge (bt878)) virtual 
device

But as root it gives me:
[root at gries8-096177 root]# scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BT878 video (Hauppauge (bt878)) virtual 
device
device `mustek_usb:libusb:003:002' is a Mustek 1200 CU flatbed scanner

But sane-find-scanner as user reports the scanner:
[liquidat at gries8-096177 liquidat]$ sane-find-scanner

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure 
that
  # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x055f, product=0x0001, chip=MA-1017?) at 
libusb:003:002

So where could be the problem? Someone suggested to make this:
               $ chgrp scanner /dev/usb/scanner0
               $ chmod 660 /dev/usb/scanner0
But scanimage -L as user still shows only my tv card.

Any ideas?

Thx,
Roland
