I got the scanner working.

If I boot with udev, the scanner works, and the permissions on the device
look like this:

ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002/
crw-rw-r--+ 1 root root 189, 137 Aug 16 10:30 010

and with vdev, it looks like this:
crw------- 1 root root 189, 131 Aug 16 10:39 004

I changed the permissions and added myself to the scanner group (oops!)
and now xsane finds the scanner when I'm running vdev. I hope someone
knows what to do with this information, because I'm in new territory here.
(and I don't know C.)

If udevadm output for the scanner would help, I'll post it. The udev rules
for scanners are in /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules
