Mea culpa! Found the culprit.... SANE DID work..... but I had scanbd installed too, so scanbd had the usb connection with sane and kept the device locked..... I disabled scanbd, as I remembered installing that and that it might interfere with SANE... and so it did!
Sorry for having bothered you and thanks for the help! Max
