 I got the same problem with an HP ScanJet 2200c (also a Plustek USB
 scanner) and solved it by creating a /opt/local/var/lock/sane directory.
 This [http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-
 devel/2005-September/014530.html post] helped me to see the problem.

 Please try
 {{{
 export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20; scanimage -L
 }}}
 and check if you have such output in the end :
 {{{
 [sanei_access] sanei_access_lock: open >/opt/local/var/lock/sane/
 LCK..libusb:005:002-1606-0060-00-00< failed: No such file or directory
 [plustek] sanei_access_lock failed: 11
 }}}

 if so, simply type :
 {{{
 sudo mkdir /opt/local/var/lock/sane
 sudo chmod a+w /opt/local/var/lock/sane
 }}}

 and retry scanimage -L
