No suggestions?
When going in remotely, are you logging in as root or as a "normal"
user? That may have something to do with it. In the past, some SANE
backends didn't run if you weren't root. I thought that was fixed, but
it's a possibility.
I have a Canon LIDE at home and it works fine as me or as root.
