Well, the version must be 0.1.6 or newer. As far as I know that
version number is not the same as the (libtool?) number of the library
(*-so.a.b.c). My libusb looks like this: /usr/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4.3.0

You'll nee the firmware for scanning. Detection will work without it.

Possible reason: if SANE is linked to libusb there are some other
possible reasons: 
- permissions (does it work as root)?
- USB drivers are loaded (at least the host controller driver)?
- /proc and /proc/bus/usb is mounted?
- /proc/bus/usb/devices should show your device
