First of all, the permissions on the scanner device file should be different: The way it is, only root can scan. If you set it to 666, then everybody can use the scanner. You should also reinstall the sane-backend package, there is (was?) a problem with the upgrade that can be fixed with this command sequence: rpm -e --nodeps sane-backends rpm -ivh sane-backends-1.0.7-6.i386.rpm (you need the sane-backends-...rpm file from your distribution).
