Subject: sane: Scanning works only as root

I installed the packages sane sane-utils xsane kooka.

As root i can run "sane-find-scanner":

...
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0110 [EPSON Scanner]) at
libusb:001:004
...

and "scanimage -L"

device `epson2:libusb:001:004' is a Epson GT-8200 flatbed scanner
device `epson:libusb:001:004' is a Epson GT-8200 flatbed scanner
device `epkowa:libusb:001:004' is a Epson Perfection 1650 flatbed scanner

When i run xsane as ROOT with kdesu i can scan a image, but when i run it as 
normal
user no scanners can be found!


So when i run the commands as normal user i get with "sane-find-scanner"

...
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0110) at libusb:001:004
...

which is NOT my Epson Perfectopn 1650.

And "scanimage -L" says:

No scanners were identified ...


I tried everything to solve this obvious problem of rights.
But nothing helps. :-(

I added the normal users to the groups saned and scanner.
And i changed the rights for the group scanner for the devices:

># ls -l /dev/*usb*
crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 251, 1  5. Okt 12:50 /dev/usbdev1.1_ep00
crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 251, 0  5. Okt 12:50 /dev/usbdev1.1_ep81
crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 251, 8  5. Okt 13:48 /dev/usbdev1.4_ep00
crw-rw---- 1 root root    251, 6  5. Okt 15:49 /dev/usbdev1.4_ep01
crw-rw---- 1 root root    251, 7  5. Okt 15:49 /dev/usbdev1.4_ep82
crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 251, 3  5. Okt 12:50 /dev/usbdev2.1_ep00
crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 251, 2  5. Okt 12:50 /dev/usbdev2.1_ep81
crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 251, 5  5. Okt 12:50 /dev/usbdev3.1_ep00
crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 251, 4  5. Okt 12:50 /dev/usbdev3.1_ep81
crw-rw---- 1 root root    252, 0  5. Okt 12:50 /dev/usbmon0
crw-rw---- 1 root root    252, 1  5. Okt 12:50 /dev/usbmon1
crw-rw---- 1 root root    252, 2  5. Okt 12:50 /dev/usbmon2
crw-rw---- 1 root root    252, 3  5. Okt 12:50 /dev/usbmon3

the interesting thing is that the rights for the devices:
usbdev1.4_ep01 and usbdev1.4_ep82
are turned back to "root root" after calling scanimage.

I don't know what to do now ?
