It still does not work, but I appear to be a step closer.

I compiled a new kernel without uscanner.  Same result as before with or
without uscanner.ko loaded...
I finally got my canoscan 670 working, but on -current not -release.
The kernel uscanner support is compiled in so the scanner appears as
/dev/uscanner0.
If you have the chance to try -current it might give a clue where your
problem lies.  IIRC there have been some changes to usb support lately.
