When I do my mag, I create it in colour, then File->collect for output into a 
new dir. Then I load all images at once into Gimp and convert them and adjust 
brightness as required (just converting to greyscale may leave you with 
images that are to dark etc).

With Scribus 1.3 we do have a greyscale export option though.
