Well, what does happen when you try to scan? Try scanimage >image.pnm.
If that doesn't work, set the debug variable. Do the same for xsane.
Do you use both xsane and scanimage as the same user? Otherwise there
may be permission problems. I only one version of SANE installed?
Otherwise xsane may use the other one.
