Had the same problem as you, until I changed the owner/group to my UID/GID for the .sane and .sane/xsane directories from root. After I did that the permission denied went away.

Are you a member of the "scanner" group?

$ groups
lp wheel audio cdrom video cdrw usb users lpadmin billf plugdev scanner vboxusers wireshark

Why it changes after reboot is probably because of the udev rules.
This is where it is on my system - gentoo

/etc/udev/rules.d/-70-libsane.rules

Hope this helps.........
