'xsane', or more precisely 'scanimage' which sits underneath,
has a habit of reporting that it cannot find a device if it does
not has read/write permissions to it.  This is the most likely
the reason for what you are seeing and I run into the same issue. :-)

Check

for details.  A group 'scanner' and 0660 permissions are likely
what you want in general.
