Urks, I misinterpreted your log output... 

Regarding the failure of sane_find_scanner: Did this failure occur after
the run of "scanimage --mode Color -d umax:/dev/sg5" from your last log
output, but before a reboot? In this case the last failing SCSI command
from that run might not be finished or aborted inside the kernel. Then
the INQUIRY command sent by sane_find_scanner will have to wait until
the kernel has decided what to do with the "older" command. This can
take up to 10 minutes due to the large timeout value used for Linux in
Sane before version 1.0.7
