Problem resolved, I had copied the firmware file to:
/usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/PS1fw.usb
and should have been:
/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/PS1fw.usb
(or for that matter):
/usr/local/share/sane/PS1fw.usb
Pathing a litttttle dodge.
Ooops!

Hi list
Scenario:
FC1 Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU flatbed scanner (GT-6801) USB copied firmware to /usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/PS1fw.usb 'chmod'ed PS1fw.usb to 755 commented out override in /etc/sane.d/gt86xx.conf
CORRECTION >>> When running XSane (not XScanning) I get (even as root):
Failed to open device 'gt68xx:/dev/usb/scanner0': Invalid argument
Opening Kooka (bottom left panel):
Problem: no scanner was found.
scanimage -L picks up the scanner. sane-find-scanner also picks up the scanner.
Hmmm... what am I mising?
Thanks in advance.

This may be because you have played mix-n-match between rpms and building from src tarballs. The default location for the rpms is someplace in /usr and /etc, while the tarballs default is /usr/local.
As the rpms may be a bit old, I'd rpm -e them, and run the homebrewed versions exclusively. Note that this doesn't stop you from doing the install with checkinstall, which will keep the rpm database uptodate and allow you to use rpm -e to remove it later if you should desire.
