If you give the root pw, scan, and then quit xsane and then restart xsane does it ask for the root pw again?
Yep, asks every time. I did find some ancient entries down in ~/.sane for many older scanners I used once upon a time, so I deleted them since maybe it is trying to see if one of them still exists, but it still asks for the root password every time.
