Not related to your problem, but to your code - I'd write this as follows:

	match_scene_num = re.compile("^\s\[0-9, i{1,4}, v]", re.I).match

	for scene_section in text.split('Scene'):
	    text_num = match_scene_num(scene_section)

This makes the code more readable and avoids unnecessary work inside the loop.
