In this case, yes, you need hotplug or a RUN rule to change the
permissions in /proc/bus/usb as udev only handles /dev/bus/usb

Just use something like

  RUN += "/path/to/hotplug/script"

to the udev rule for your scanner. The hotplug script is, of course,
the one shipped with SANE.

If hotplug works out of the box, then don't worry about that ;)

(still it's amazing to see a distro where udev is so old that it
doesn't work out of the box for USB devices)
