Are the scratches at the beginning of the film? This happened to the R8 recently
and I couldn't find the cause. It was particularly bad with films with a thick
support. Leica UK very promptly fixed this by replacing the complete camera
back and pressure plate. So far it's OK.

Also have a look at the Leica FAQ for a similar problem and possible cause.
