Might not be entirely what you're looking for, but when I borrowed a slide 
photo-scanner, I also wasn't able to get it to work with Sane.
I did, however, manage to run the scanner from an MS windows onstall under 
Virtualbox and passing the USB-slide scanner to that VM.

I actually got better speed that way then when running MS Windows natively. 
(scan-speed, that is)
