FYI....   I sent an email earlier saying I was having similar problems with a 
SCSI scanner...  and SuSE 8.0.


I went to the SuSE knowledge base and searched on 'sane' and came up with:

http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/pohletz_xsane_noscanner.html


which described some minor changes that could be made in /etc/sane.d/xxxxxx  
files.


Cured my problem..........  scanner is now recognized.
