I don't have a mustek but I think you need to correct the config file
in /etc/sane.d/mustek*

I would guess adding a line like:

usb libusb:003:002

To the proper file ... but maybe it's not supported.

Does xsane work as root?  If so then might be selinux.  Try xsane after
running:

setenforce 0

:)
