The easy thing I can suggest is to try compiling with "--enable-pthread". I recall a past discussion related to libusb and that sometimes causing it to work better.
If that doesn't fix things for you then your going to have to debug this yourself. I do not think there are any active Solaris developers on the mailing list. See "man san", "man sane-usb", and "man sane-<backend>" (replace <backend> with real name) for information on what environment variables you can see to enable debug output.
