BINGO!

That was the answer! As soon as I removed the leading zeros, everything leapt 
into life properly! I have rebooted several times, and sane now always finds 
the scanner, no matter where it appears on the bus!

To summarise: I added the following line to my udev.rules (sorry about the 
wrod-wrap!)

# permissions for usb scanner
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{PRODUCT}=="4b8/11d/*", 
RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/bin/chgrp scanner $env{DEVICE}; /bin/chmod 664 
$env{DEVICE}'"

Many thanks to all those who have contributed ideas, and particularly to 
Wittawat Yamwong for the solution!

Might be an idea to add this fix in the documentation somewhere?

Cheers,
