This is your problem: The config file does not contain a valid entry
for a USB scanner. Both usb entries are commented out. You have to
enable one of these lines (probably the second one). If you think
you already did this, then you have two versions of Sane (or at
least of the config files) installed. The fact that you think you
commented out the v4l entry also suggests this: If this were the
case, you would not see the v4l entries in your log.

Please check that you have only one version of Sane installed.
