Well, FreeBSD is doing what it believes it should - it's attaching the scanner and providing a device pointer for it. The man page for uscanne says to see the sane home page for conbfiguration information. While the problem may not be sane's, if it's FreeBSD, it's going to require work on the uscanner device driver to fix. So I'd attack it as if it were sane's problem until you're convinced otherwise.
