It is a udev problem. I had a similar problem with an HP PSC1315
scanner. In that case udev expected to find the rules in /lib/udev/..
but the RPM package put them in /usr/lib/udev/... ( on CentOS6.5 )
Soft linking and running udevadm to reolad the rules fixed the problem.
Also, I've seen suggestions that specifically adding an entry to
/etc/sane.d/genesys.conf may work ( on Ubuntu at least )
