Sorry, I forgot to mention two other utilities that come with the 
Ghostscript package, pdf2ps and ps2pdf. You can save your Scribus file 
in ps format, manipulate the pagination with one or two commands from 
PSUtils and then use ps2pdf to get to a pdf file.  Or if you already 
have a pdf file then use pdf2ps as the first step.

If Scribus comes up with a reliable, bug free and understandable 
method for doing pamphlet imposition then all this is beside the 
point. But until then the proven PSUtils and Ghostscript packages are 
there for your use.
