Maybe the usage of "strace" helps to find out whats going on.

strace -o /tmp/scan.txt SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=1 scanimage -L
less /tmp/scan.txt

I do not see why you installed the sane-backend from sources. Didn't
SANE shipping with Fedora Core work either? Do you have the RPM
installed too? Could be a conflict then now.
