OK, the directory exist.
But no libsane.fdi there.
It's elsewhere... see more below.

On my Hardy, there is a file called 20-libsane.fdi; the path is:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/
and the 20-libsane.fdi file is +/- 210k great.
Content regarding LiDE25 is:
<snip>
<!-- Canon CanoScan LiDE25 -->
<match key="usb.vendor_id" int="0x04a9">
<match key="usb.product_id" int="0x2220">
<append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">scanner</append>
<merge key="scanner.access_method" type="string">proprietary</merge>
</match>
</match>
</snip>
i don't know if that info should be relevant for resolving the problem.
