I've got the text file in the right folder but XSane refuse to open it. Here's what it says if it helps anyone diagnose the issue. (Well, I guess the issue is, it still thinks it's in root and won't let it near my grubby paws.) How do I knock some sense into it?
can't get hub descriptor: Operation not permitted cannot read device status, Operation not permitted (1) sudo ls -laR /dev/bus/usb

That looks right - what does xsane say? Are you in the scanner group? Can we have the output of the command "id"?
The id command will list the groups you're in, if you're not in the scanner group you wont have permissions.
If it turns out that you're not in the scanner group then do: sudo adduser yourusername scanner
Obviously replacing yourusername with, erm, your username...
Then logout and back in again.
Thanks,
