What are the permissions, owner and group on the device nodes below
/dev/usb/?

Provide debug logs. At a shell prompt and as a normal user, do:
script cx3900-debug.log
groups
lsusb -v
ls -lR /dev/usb
SANE_DEBUG_DLL=127 SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=127 scanimage -L
exit
and send the (compressed) cx3900-debug.log file.
Hope that helps,
