I have no idea what permissions need fixing. Xsane was installed as su root and I tried reinstall from sudo from bobg, that made no difference. I rarely need the scanner and today when I do it wont work in Fedora 31 updated today.
It seems that udev is not recognizing it or you need to add yourself to a different group. You could run xsane as root as a workaround. Or try doing "chmod a+w /dev/bus/001/006" (replace with the correct numbers if you've replugged or rebooted since your post).
P.S. Why do your emails always have a dash added at the end of the subject line?
