That's ok. For a desktop machine using scanbd and local scanning apps 
(like scanimage), scanbd / scanbm must be running. Please read 0.1) 
solution from the README.txt: scanbm acts as a proxy for saned.

The below log shows, that scanbd recognizes the scanner and his options. 
So now you have to figure out which buttons correlate to which option 
value changes: just press a button and watch the log. Then you can tweak 
the scripts for the button actions.
