No cigar. I plugged in a USB flash drive, rebooted, tried opening the scanner in Gimp, and it says No devices available as it always does until I run my fixscan script that changes permissions.
Could you add yourself to the CC for bug #121511 if you haven't already done so? Also it would be good if you could add a comment saying whether /dev/usb exists in the above scenario, and if so what's in it -- also whether libusbscanner is still in 'ps axf' output.

Done, Here is my comment added to the bug:
Scanner (Epson 1240U) still not detected for me with latest rawhide sane-backends and hotplug installed.
[root@gstpc-fc3 ~]# rpm -q sane-backends sane-backends-1.0.15-2 [root@gstpc-fc3 ~]# rpm -q hotplug hotplug-2004_04_01-10
Scanner is not recognized until I execute a script to change permissions, even if another USB device (USB flash drive) is active.
[root@gstpc-fc3 ~]# ls /dev/usb
ls: /dev/usb: No such file or directory
[root@gstpc-fc3 ~]# ps axf | grep sleep
4124 ? S< 0:00 | \_ sleep 1
4126 pts/2 S+ 0:00 \_ grep sleep
[root@gstpc-fc3 ~]# ps axf | grep libusbscanner
1336 ? S< 0:00 | \_ /bin/bash /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner
4132 pts/2 S+ 0:00 \_ grep libusbscanner
I try to Acquire in Gimp at this point, and it fails to find scanner.
[root@gstpc-fc3 ~]# cat /usr/local/bin/fixscan chmod a+w /proc/bus/usb/003/002 [root@gstpc-fc3 ~]# fixscan
Acquire with Gimp now works. No change in above queries.
[root@gstpc-fc3 ~]# ls /dev/usb
ls: /dev/usb: No such file or directory
[root@gstpc-fc3 ~]# ps axf | grep sleep
4210 ? S< 0:00 | \_ sleep 1

[root@gstpc-fc3 ~]# ps axf | grep libusbscanner
