Personally, I'd test my scanner with 'scanimage', not xsane. We do not know if the problem is with the scanner, or with xsane connecting to various graphical thingies, like dbus and hal.

Once we have the scanner working with scanimage, then we can see about why xsane is complaining.

Another useful command: tail. It prints the last 10? lines of the file: great to check what may have just happened. This command will print the last 10 lines, and the watch for any additions to the file, and print them to: great to keep a watch on what is happening. Open this in one xterm, and try something in the other to see if there are any messages posted.
# tail -f /var/log/all.log
