I'd suggest you check whether or not the user "michael" has write permissions 
in /var/lib/lock/sane!
You could try by setting

chown root.users /var/lib/lock/sane <<<< assuming michael's group is users
chmod 0775 /var/lib/lock/sane

and retest.

But beware, do a ls -l /var/lib/lock/sane first in order to know what 
permissions you actually have & probably put the original ones back - just in 
case. The rule of thumb here is to not reduce existing permissions where they 
are - and to not unneccessarily enlarge them. 
Much luck,
take care



Dieter

if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font
