I had the same problem with Agfa Snapscan e40

xsane worked as root, but not as normal user for me

I inserted the following 2 lines in /etc/udev/rules.d just bevore the
line with LABEL="hpmud_rules_end"

{{{
# Check for Snapscan e40 (0x06bd 0x208d). 02.02.08 AKf
SYSFS{idVendor}=="06bd", SYSFS{idProduct}=="208d", OWNER="scanner", 
GROUP="scanner"
}}}

I got the idVendor and idProduct-values from an earlier

{{{
scanimage -L
device `snapscan:libusb:002:002' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN e40 flatbed scanner
}}}

I also had to change a few lines in /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf, and 
copy the file snape40.bin from Scanner-CD to 
/usr/share/sane/snapscan/snape40.bin

{{{
# Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if
# firmware upload is needed by the scanner
firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/snape40.bin

# If not automatically found you may manually specify a device name.

# For USB scanners also specify bus=usb, e.g.
/dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb
}}}

I hope this helps others
