Ken, I feel for ya. This is the sort of problem that can be very hard to trace the cause of. All the suggestions made here are good, but it can be extremely tough to play Sherlock Holmes and arrest the actual culprit.
I run an old Brenkert that, every so often, shaves off emulsion from the SR-D area ('tween the perfs). Doesn't happen on every print. We run analogue sound, so the presentation isn't affected, but still, anyone else trying to run digital would find this print a lost cause.
I have gone nutzoid trying to stop this. No burrs in the film path, no worn sprockets, gate tension low, everythin' I can think of hunky-dory - yet this happens. Fooey.
I figure IF I could shrink myself doen to 1-inch size, slow down time, and have x-ray vision to see through metal, I MIGHT have a shot at solving this. Otherwise...
Good luck anyways.
