Yea. You can't do it that way.

Each scope is to be a different subnet (as yours are), then the network's
physical topology requires a "segment" for each subnet (or "logical" segment
with VLANs). Then you need a router to route between the subnets and the
router must also be setup to forward DHCP Queries to the DHCP Server. The
"forwarded" queries comming from the router will contain the proper
information for the DHCP to know which Scope to pull the address from so
that the client in the proper subnet receives the proper address from the
proper scope.
