Problem to scan as simple user with sane

I don’t understand why sometimes my Brother DS-620 scanner is well recognized by scanimage -L and sometimes not.

I’m on NixOS 20.03 ande I added this in a /etc/nixos/scanner.nix :

{ config, lib, pkgs, ... } : {

  hardware.sane = {
    enable = true;
    dsseries.enable = true;
  };

  # Allow unfree software for libsane-dsseries only
  nixpkgs.config.allowUnfreePredicate = (pkg: builtins.elem (builtins.parseDrvName pkg.pname).name
  [
    "libsane-dsseries"
  ]);
}

And I load it this way, in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix :

{ config, pkgs, ... } : {
  imports =  [
    ./hardware-configuration.nix
    ./scanner.nix
  ];

As I told, sometimes I plug my scanner in, and everything is working like a charm. I even wrote some Python scripts to automate some scanning tasks…
But most of the time, it doesn’t work.

What I can tell, is that /dev/sg1 is well created and deleted when I plug in or out my scanner. Also, /dev/sg0 is already taken by my webcam but it’s also the case when scanimage is working.

What surprised me is that even if I’m logged as root, I get this :

# sane-find-scanner -vvv

This is sane-find-scanner from sane-backends 1.0.30

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

searching for SCSI scanners:
checking /dev/scanner... failed to open (Invalid argument)
checking /dev/sg0... failed to open (Invalid argument)
checking /dev/sg1... failed to open (Invalid argument)
…

(failed to open /dev/sg1 whereas I’m root !?)

But, still as root, I can get this :

# scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Integrated Camera: Integrated C virtual device
device `dsseries:usb:0x04F9:0x60E0' is a BROTHER DS-620 sheetfed scanner

Also, as root, scanimage -d 'dsseries:usb:0x04F9:0x60E0' > test.pnm is working

I insist on the fact that sometimes I can do it as a simple user and sometimes not, even if I didn’t changed my configuration.nix and/or rebuilt my system. And I have no clue about what this problem is related to.

Is there someone here, experimented with Sane ? I guess I’m not the only one who could face this issue :S

Is there a dump command I may run when it’s working and when it’s not to compare the both two ?

This problem seems to be resolved by the NixOS 20.09 upgrade.
And for information, it works even if my user is not in the “scanner” group.
