Here's a couple things that have helped me when I have had sane problems:

1. Does sane-find-scanner recognize your scanner properly?
2. What are permissions on /dev/bus/usb/{your_usb_addr? Mine are 664.
3. Have you tried rm -fr ~/.sane (use at your own risk... has solved many
sane problems for me)?
