Hmm. Let's see if this helps (just stabbing at options at the moment, it 
is what I would do here):

As root type:

mkdir -p  /usr/share/sane/gt68xx
cd  /usr/share/sane/gt68xx

Then do the cp command:
cp /path/to/where/you/downloaded/A1fw.usb ./

and see if things want to work then.

Before actually starting xsane, you could also do this: open a new 
xterm, become root and cd to /var/log

do "tail -f syslog" there and watch what happens there when you start 
xsane. Are there messages that report something w.r.t. xsane and a 
problem, if the fix above does not work? (You can stop the tail with 
ctrl-c after trying xsane.)
