The solution is hal.  It seems that libsane has been removed from
/etc/udev/rules.d and everything is in
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/19-libsane.fdi

When I added a rule for the vendor with the id of the device to that
file, I was then able to access it as a normal user.

There were problems with using the device through xsane, but it could
scan. I think this is because the device is not officially supported
and I'm only piggybacking on another version.

It worked after unplugging and plugging as well.
