Hi Henning. Hi everyone.

Thanks. Being stupid I was playing around with the permissions for xscanimage.
I never thought that a device could have permissions too! Have set /dev/sg0 and
dev/sg1 to my own permissions. Now we can scan safely in our own directories.

Thanks once more. I think that we are nearly there. Just need to install xsane
0.58.
