I've noticed that before.  I think for me, it did 1-3 fine and 4-5 were
messed up like you describe.  I tried to redo just 4 and same result.
Shutdown and restarted Vuescan, and then it would do 4 and 5 fine by
themselves.

I rarely batchscan an entire strip anymore.  Usually, I just want a picture
or two, and I've had problems with dust sometimes lately.  So my work flow
is to scan a single image, bring it into Photoshop, verify there aren't any
dust lines running the length of the carrier, and then go on to the next
one.

But you aren't alone.  :)
