ugen0 instead of uscanner0 means it is not seeing it as a scanner, just 
an unidentified USB device.  5.2.1 may not have had IDs for this 
scanner; see if /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs.h contains this line (which 
will probably wrap when viewed):

#define USB_PRODUCT_CANON_N1240U        0x220e          /* CanoScan N1240U */

If it does have that line, try a kernel recompile and reinstall again. 
Otherwise, maybe a cvsup to 5.3 is in order.
