So your scanner stopped working from one day to the other? This is not
a SANE problem but maybe related to a devfsd, kernel ... update?
The Avision code in SANE did not changed for the last year. New code
will be in 1.0.7 - so it is also not a "the developer (I ;-) added
s.th. that doesn't work for you" problem ;-)

Do you do this as root or normal user? - You do not have the right
permissions to do this as user ...

As normal user? Beeing root this shold list more for your system.
Coud you also run:
export SANE_DEBUG_AVISION=5
scanimage -L
Which should give me info about the stuff my avision backend is
doing ...
