I've since upgraded our boxes here to Jaunty, and this issue has again
reared its head.  The solution for me was to follow the HowTo at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo , and then change the
RUN_AS_USER line in /etc/default/saned such that saned runs as "root".
Doesn't jive well with Ubuntu's normal security model, but it works.

That said, it's been a year since this bug was opened.  If I can work
around it (if somewhat insecurely) on my end with a one-word change to a
single configuration file, why has it not been fixed properly?  Why does
this issue still persist a year later?
