Hi,

It very well could be Scribus is rejecting them if they are 
progressive jpeg. Progressive Jpeg is pure poison in pre-press. 

See: http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=importhints for 
some hints. 

That page does need some updating as Scribus now handles PSD *very* 
well. The new PSD import tricks Franz has done in 1.3.4 are 
impressive. 

Messing with the internals of Scribus is not likely to fix your issue 
IMO.

My guess is the the jpeg's have something not quite right in them. 
What application created them ? Have you tried to resave them in GIMP 
or Photoshop as a Tiff ?

We can probably figure it out quicker if you file a bug and attach the 
files.

Hope that helps,
Peter
