Install the "strace" package if you do not have it already.

Run as the normal user:

strace -f scanimage -L 2>scanimage.strace

Then you can check the end of the file scanimage.strace for clues. If
you cannot make sense of it then you can send the output of

tail -n50 scanimage.strace

to this list. (Please do NOT post the entire strace file!)
