Be sure that scanbd uses the correct location of libsane config files
(see ReadMe). In most cases this will be a seperate directory (e.g.
/etc/scanbd) where all configs and dll.conf are. This dll.conf must not
contain the net-backend.

On the other hand the standard libsane config location (/etc/sane) has
to contain a dll.conf with only the net backend.

I changed trunk to include an additional debug output to log the env-var
SANE_CONFIG_DIR. Please check the startup-script if the right dir ist
set ...
