White scummy skin a few days after primary racking

2 weeks ago I racked 5 gallons and after 5 days a white skin appeared on the top.
I asked the local brew store and was told it was caused by a benign yeast. It wouldn't affect the taste, but was near impossible to get rid of.
I cleaned the carboy, racking cane and tube as well as I could BUT!!
The last batch I racked on saturday has just developed the same white scum on top.
Do I have to throw the carboy or does anyone know how I can stop the rot?

Any answers greatfull received
