Interesting. Somehow your install of sane seems to have gone awry.

As root, can you check if sane or xsane are actually installed?

Example from my machine:
[root@localhost nano2009]# rpm -q xsane
xsane-0.995-2mdv2009.0


If it is not installed, use MCC to (re)install it. Then try the above 
routine again...
