I wonder if you just have an old copy of Nikon Scan which writes NEF
files that Adobe doesn't support?  If it came with your LS4000 then that is
more than four years old?  Possibly there is a new version at NIkon?

That is the problem with propriatary formats, subtle tweaking make them
extremely difficult to use outside the venders approved workflow.  Another
reason to resist the lure of the D200 as a less expensive alternative to my
other acceptable options.
