Never used the facility myself and I think it's Vuescan RAW rather than Nikon.

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.
