if /dev/sg1 and /dev/scanner are both simlinks to /dev/sgb then
find-scanner and/or xsane will think that those are multiple devices, when
they all point to the same place (/dev/sgb). have you tried scanning with
either of the two listed scanners? they should both provide the same
result and, since it worked before on /dev/sga, it should still work on
/dev/sgb. hope that clears things up.
