xsane problems

When I try to start xsane as user, I get the response that no device is found. The scanner is found if xsane is started as root. /dev/scanner is a link to /dev/sq3. The scanner was setup using Yast. /dev/scanner and /dev/sq3 has both user and group set for r/w (330 ?). Xsane is permission of 717. Any help in getting xsane to start as user would be appreciated.
