What's about the permissions for /dev/sge ??
They syntax for xscanimage is slightly different. As far as I remember
you must suppy not only the type of scanner but also the devicename
(Sorry, I use a modified version of the old tkscan and it works - and
did also work with the Vuego - only Vuegos results where "not perfect")
