Usually this means that sanei_usb_find_devices was called. This
function checks all /dev/usb/scanner? and /dev/usbscanner? devices. If
the device file exists but doesn't represent a scanner, the Linux
scanner module prints these warnings. E.g. if /dev/usbscanner0 and
/dev/usbscanner1 exists but only one scanner is connected to the
computer a warning like this will be printed:

scanner.c: open_scanner(1): Unable to access minor data

So this will happen everytime scanimage -L is called, at least with
newer versions of the Linux scanner driver.

Bye,
