I don't no much about the hotplug voodo (pam_console ...), but adding 
two lines to the 'add' branch of /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner finally 
did the trick
     chgrp saned ${DEVICE}
     chmod g+rw ${DEVICE}
where 'saned' is a group that I had created before when configuring the 
SANE network daemon.
Thanks again,
