Subject: blktrace and exclusive access problem

I am trying to blktrace a scsi scanner on /dev/sg7 but unfortunately the 
program opens that device for exclusive access so when I try and start 
blktrace I get the following
Invalid path /dev/sg7 specified: 16/Device or resource busy

This is on Debian testing, with kernel version 3.2.0-4-amd64 and no 
support for /proc/scsci.

Is there any way around this? I did try to search the list archives but 
I found nothing relevant.

Thanks,
Andrew
