Shannon, I must be blind because I don't see which images have the scratches.
 
However, when I used to shoot 35mm I would sometimes get random scratches as 
you describe, usually spanning several frames, then several clean ones, then 
several scratched ones, etc......
 
I had my cam serviced in an attempt to remedy it, the service person told me 
the scratches were occuring during the film rewind action.   So I wonder 
whether it isn't something inside your camera, rather than w/your processing, 
that might be the culprit.
