This is new. I thought it worked for you up to 9.0 and since 9.1 it had failed.
Did I ever mention to use SANE debugging? See man sane-usb man sane-<backend> (i.e. man sane-epkowa in your case)
For example when you use the epkowa backend for a USB scanner, do
1. without debugging scanimage -d epkowa -T && echo OK || echo FAILED
2. with debugging only regarding USB stuff export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=128 scanimage -d epkowa -T && echo OK || echo FAILED unset SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB
3. with debugging only regarding epkowa backend stuff export SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA=128 scanimage -d epkowa -T && echo OK || echo FAILED unset SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA
4. with debugging for both export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=128 export SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA=128 scanimage -d epkowa -T && echo OK || echo FAILED unset SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB unset SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA
This does of course not solve the problem but it may show more details about the reason.
But I guess all you get is some USB errors where I don't know how to solve them because I am no USB expert.
Well, someone might be able to help - thanks for all your help, Johannes, will post anew when I have had the chance to try your advice. Best Fergus
