Are you sure /dev/scanner is supposed to be a "folder" (or "directory" as it is called in Unix)? I would think that it should be a direct link /dev/scanner -> /dev/scsi/sc2d1l0. In other words, you should NOT create the "folder" (or remove the existing one); just type the "ln" command as given above to create a direct link rather than a link in a folder. (But again, that's my speculation. I'm not 100% sure of the above.)

The 17 bytes looks right. The permissions don't. I think they should be rw-rw-rw-. I don't see why you'd need execute permission (the 'x' bit), but you would need write permission ('w') to send SCSI commands to it. Try that first, before the above suggestion.

That is perfectly normal. The files under /dev aren't real files. They're special to the operating system kernel.
