An excerpt of the dll.conf from CVS:
[...]
tamarack
umax
#umax_pp
v4l
If the error message in syslog is printed even when v4l is commented
out your SANE installation may be defective. Probably some of the
frontends load v4l directly.
An idea: Are you sure that don't have "/usr/local/lib/sane" in
/etc/ld.so.conf? This may result in such problems. Only
"/usr/local/lib" should be listed there.
What's the output of "ls -l /usr/local/lib/libsane*"?

It's in the SANE sourcode (sane-backends-1.0.4/sanei/sanei_scsi.c).

What's the output with debugging turned on:
SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 SANE_DEBUG_UMAX=255 SANE_DEBUG_V4L=255 xsane

That means that the umax backend wasn't loaded at all. Please check
again with the two debugging variables set (see above).

Doesn't help if umax isn't loaded. The file is read by the umax backend.
