This part was my fault.  I recently fixed oen sane-config bug and
introduced another.  I've just submitted a fix so if you re-pulled
sane-backends from git and reinstall, this part of the problem should
go away.

Others have replied about the remaining issues once @RESMGR@ typo is
fixed.  sane-frontend in current git contains some next generation
API's that sane-backends has disabled.  The released sane-frontends
package is the one to use with released and git versions of
sane-backends.
