As far as I see, your scsi-devices are:
ID 3: SCSI-CDROM
ID 5: UMAX-SCANNER

and there is no SCSI-harddisc!

If that is so, the scanner should be on device /dev/sgb

So login as root and do
chmod 666 /dev/sgb

and I suggest to do:
ln -s /dev/sgb /dev/scanner

then try again and please tell if it works!

Bye
Oliver
