I agree with Shivas. After digging several possibilities, I had to
go in linux/kernel/drivers/usb/hid-core.c and modify hid-blacklist to
set HID_QUIRK_IGNORE for MGE devices...

It's then complemented by hotplug mechanism for libusb settings
(or generic usb access nodes settings, used by libsusb and userland
programs...).

It now works fine for me.

Lastly, FYI, your tape might use hid for the button panel. The
rest (actual backup stream) should be managed through some bulk
or control transfers...
