I can reproduce this with two different scanners (don't have the GT-X980
and GT-X900 handy here) using the latest from git (b2aefab). With the
scanners that I use I also have to add the first one to the epson2.conf
file in order to get it recognized.
I turned on the debugging output for the epson2 backend and got
$ SANE_DEBUG_EPSON2=127 scanimage -d epson2:libusb:001:006 > /dev/null
[...]
[epson2] sane_epson2_open: name = libusb:001:006

[epson2] scanner opened
[epson2] the device at libusb:001:006 is not a supported (product id=0x8bf)
[epson2] close_scanner: fd = 1
lt-scanimage: open of device epson2:libusb:001:006 failed: Invalid argument

This is a bug in the epson2 backend. When you explicitly specify the
device, it skips the probe for connected devices step which is the only
place that looks at the configuration file.
The easiest work-around for you would be to build from source after you
add the product ID to backend/epson_usb.c. Make sure to remove it from
your epson2.conf as well.
Hope this helps,
