Mac OS X has always used central resources for items such as TWAIN drivers, Address Book, fonts, etc, while Classic relied on developers choosing heir own locations, leading to much duplication. Adobe in this case are insisting that the TWAIN drivers live in their "standard" location which is probably somewhere in their application's folder, and it won't be looking for them anywhere else. Preview, of course, is looking in the correct Mac OS X location, as will any other correctly-written application which allows scanning.
