Hmm.. This would still indicate success to the program that requested
the scan. That does not sound reasonable. At minimum, this would need to
return something like FAIL-BUSY instead of OK in the case that the
request was not accepted. It should also be noted that scan request can
be made over the D-Bus interface and it would probably be a good idea to
handle these in the same way with the ctrl_interface command.
