Thanks Melanie I think I'm using libusb, but I've not checked.
Between my posting and your response it's possible I've solved the problem by commenting out all the details listed for other scanners in snapscan.config. A couple of reboots and starting Xsane each time has produced a perfectly uneventful start for the scanner. I'm none the wiser why this should be doing the trick, unless sane is checking all the options and some are causing a response from the e20 - that's my theory anway. ;-) However I'm not signing this off as 'solved' just yet, but certainly hopeful.
