Any scratch made by the scanner on negative film would be dark, not light.  The
line isn't perfectly straight, so that tends to rule out a defect in the
scanner's CCD, too.  A light line implies something dark on the negative.  Have
you looked at the negative under a microscope?  (A loupe might not be powerful
enough to show anything.)
