If there is colour to the "scratch", that suggests to me that the scratch
penetrated some but not all of the dye layers. We are talking about the
slide film here, I assume, not the B&W negative!
Given the exposure time, the shutter problem I described before seems very
unlikely.
BUT you haven't answered the question in your quoted text - is the line
white on the negative, or white on the resulting print?

I scanned one of the negatives and the line is thin, no flash was used and
the exposure was almost certainly >1/60... a candle lit temple @ F8 on a
tripod. the line is not all the way across so I guss it could be a scratch
BUT there is *colour* to the scratch. Ill jpeg the pic and post a link to
it. Strange....
