Device busy means device busy. XSane is just telling you what the
backend told it.

There is no "permission error" defined in the SANE standard, so you
usually get "Invalid argument" when that happens. Some backends do it
differently and return "device busy".

There's really not much that can be done to fix that, it'll have to
wait for the SANE 2 standard.
