From an user's standpoint (and from a maintainer's standpoint) it is bad if a regular user is simply kicked out of the usage of the scanner, what is, IMHO, a very "normal" usecase, what I hope you can agree with.
If I get your comment to Marcus Meissner correct, there should be support for SCSI-scanners in "the fdi-files". Can you be more specific which files are concerned so I could play around and try to figure out what is going wrong? @Marcus Meissner In a certain way this strongly reminds me of #408252, though you said it is not related: the problem there is buried somewhere in hal, too, isn't it? Apparently there has been a very basic change with permission policy for device access recently what is popping up at every other corner now.
