Looks fine for me.

If you have installed cdrecord, try "cdrecord -scanbus". If that one
works, I guess it's a SANE problem.

Ok, SANE 1.0.7 doesn't print more details. When the problem still
occurs with 1.0.12, please try sane-find-scanner -v -v again. It
should pront the actual data that was send by the devices.
