I am not an expert here(couldn't get my own Compaq to work during the brief time I fiddled with it), and I'm not even sure what permissions you'd need, but you might need write permission to actually send the scanner commands, which if you're running as other than root you don't have. If you're in wheel, try setting group write permissions on the device(chmod 755 /dev/uscanner0 for a test? and in the device hints file to have it remembered for the future). -BB
