I think the scanner is the problem. I just made an RGB preview profile with Dan's method using Profiler Pro and a 
Spectrocam to double check the method in preparation for doing RGB quad curves for a friend. The profile worked very well 
and allowed me to create curves in about 10 minutes that look like they will need only minor tweaking.
Keep in mind that the profile is useless to print through, and is used to create curves with, or preview a quad file for 
tweaking.
