@Ken Wright:
For my scanner (Epson GT-S50 / epkowa driver), I added more in my udev rule file:

> ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0137", MODE="0666", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

the last line is important, and is missing in the recommendations of comment #96, that is perhaps what is causing you trouble. NOTE: for your scanner, the line should read (cfr. #124):
> ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0130", MODE="0666", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

Hoping this will help. Cheers.
