Nope, that's not the problem; I was using the root.root version in the
first place, i.e. saned is running as root.

Also, "xsane net:localhost:epson" works just fine as a normal user, i.e.
saned *has* the correct permissions, but appearantly xsane isn't able to
discover the 'net' devices when looking for available devices.

Griz, does 'xsane' (i.e. without any arguments) work for you as normal
user? Does it find any device that's available through saned? That would
interesting then, to find out why it doesn't work for me, then.
