My idea was that some application (e.g. a kde program) blocks the
scanner and kooka can somewhow handle that but xsane can't.

Usually if frontends behave that differently there are two versions of
sane installed on the same system. And 1.0.8 is quite old anyway so
make sure that you don't use 1.0.8 with scanimage/xsane and
1.0.something with kooka.

SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=255 scanimage -L

should show some debug messages.
