Hi all

It is a permission problem.
Where I had user.group of nobody.nobody, I just did 'root.root' and it all
started working just fine!

Yes I know that using root is a bad idea, but it is great for trouble
shooting.

Now I looked at permission in /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin
/usr/local/lib/ /usr/local/lib/sane /usr/local/etc/sane.d
and all permessions look ok to me.

Did I miss some place? Is there some file that needs unusual permissions?
What is the best way to trouble shoot a permission problem?

Thanks
Terry
