I have been using my HP 3570c flatbed scanner and my Nikon CoolScan V ED film and slide scanner with both Jaunty and Karmic. The applications I use are XSane and Vuescan (only the Nikon). Suddenly today, these two applications do not find my Nikon. I ran the following in a terminal:

So, I have a few questions.
(1) Is this about permissions?
(2) If so, is the file I need to set permissions on /dev/bus/usb/002/007?
(3) If things are correct so far, to what do I need to set the permissions?
(4) Why would my permissions have changed?
