No, /dev/usb/scanner no longer exists in kernel 2.6. It has to do with permissions of the files in /proc/bus/usb provided by usbfs and used by libusb. By default, these files have limited permission and usually a hotplug script is used to update the permission when the scanner is plugged in. (and ofcourse usbfs needs to be mounted first) You need to have some hotplug script in /etc/hotplug/usb. There are examples of the required files in the sane-backends source packages (directory tools), but I don't know whether you need the hotplug scripts or the hotplug-ng script.
