Not recognize 640U Acer scanner

Having trouble getting FreeBSD 9 to recognize my ScanPrisa 640U Acer scanner
Any advice as to what else can be done?

So far this is what I did:

Edited snapscan.conf to point to the driver:
firmware /usr/local/share/sane/snapscan/u96v121.bin
and also added the following line:
# For USB scanners also specify bus=usb, e.g.
#/dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb
/dev/usb:/dev/ugen0.2

Ran the following commands:
sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5 [Color], product=0x2060 [ FlatbedScanner 13]) at libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen0.2

scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
 
Dim memory suggests this is a permissions issue. If it works as root but not as a normal user, it's permissions to the device nodes.
 
Did you run the commands (sane-find-scanner, scanimage -L) as root?
Sometimes, problems are related to issues with permissions.

YES Thought it would be a good idea to run everything as root until I get things working.
 
Next up, turn on debugging for sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L. I don't remember how, so you will have to read documentation or search for it (Google).
