At a guess, the distro you're using has altered the install convention such that a source build is not integrating with the distribution-shipped hotplug/udev/systemd rules. It also sounds like the backends are also not installed where the distro expects. I know for a fact that getting a source build to work on, eg, Fedora, will be an exercise in reading the Fedora package's spec files carefully. Most of the install documentation shipped with the current sane backends is out of date, incorrect for a given distribution, or both. It still talks about the 2.6 kernel series as if it were new...
