I remember sending a camera off to Nikon for repair (different fault) about 2 years ago, they quoted £60 to fix it, it only cost me £50 to buy the camera new  :o

It doesn't look like a scratch on the lens to me. Looks like greasy mark? I'm guessing you have tried wiping it etc. or it could even be something to do with the sensor, im guessing that because of the white shades in the photo.
