I assume you installed one of the brscan packages from the Brother website. Maybe it only works as root initially. Have you done this too: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1c.html#d6 ?
(Lowering priority because it concerns software that's not in gNewSense.)
