Just when you thought it was safe..............

This thing has taken a strange twist. After a reboot, the Epson scanner
no longer works. If I rerun the command:

sudo chown rich /dev/sg6

Things work again. What makes it even more weird is that /dev/sg6 ti the
port for the Nikon scanner which does not have the problem. Running the
chown command against /dev/sg5, which is where the problem scanner
lives, does not fix the problem. It was by blind luck that I discovered
this. Hopefully one of you guru types will understand what it all means.

So, bottom line is that this is not a fix but possibly a workaround.
Just run the chown command before using the scanner. Maybe there is a
way to incorporate it into the object properties?
