Unfortunately- your scanner is not supported by sane-backends, but
rather by brother's proprietary driver. The udev rule is really their
responsibility, and their suggested rule is a security hole. Thanks
for taking the time to report this, and sorry to disappoint.

Just following instructions in /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules in Ubuntu
10.10 to get my scanner to work.
# If the scanner is supported by sane-backends, please mail the entry to
# the sane-devel mailing list (sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org).
It sounds like you'll update this
