Hmmm, why 0664?
Either grant access to anybody or RW-Access to owner and group
(root:operator).
perm uscanner0 660

Interesting idea to apply devfs rules from devd ...
But the following does work as well and is a less heavy weight
solution:
# The entry below grants group operator access when a scanner is plugged in.
attach 100 {
device-name "uscanner[0-9]+";
action "chmod 660 /dev/$device-name";
};
In fact, the default permissions of uscanner devices might be too strict
and the best fix might be to have the mode default to 0660 (root:operator).
