Looks fine. The Epson backend has full support for libusb since SANE
version 1.0.10 so you may want to update if you don't use this or a
newer version.

You can also try to add a line like this to epson.conf:
usb libusb:/dev/usb0:/dev/ugen0

To find out what's going on you can enable debugging by setting
the SANE_DEBUG_EPSON environment variable. See man sane-epson for
details.
