I am not sure what happened, but I ran scanimage -L with in the debug mode.  The scanner was recognized??????  All is well that ends well.  The only thing that may have been different was that I mounted the usbdevfs before running scanimage.  I have been fooling with this stuff for so long now, who knows what I did diff this time around.  Anyway, I really appreciate the effort you went to to help me out.  The debug mode may help me help myself out if I encounter this prob again. Hopefully things keep working.
FYI here is output:
