Glad it worked!

I think it needs /dev/usb0 to scan that particular USB controller (the
bus), and then it uses /dev/ugen0 to talk to that device specifically.
Nestled in the debug output is this device ID: "/dev/usb0//dev/ugen0"
which seems to support that conclusion.

Looks like some more things we need to document for *BSD. Thanks for
bearing with us!
