Could you scratch a diamond with carbon nanotubes?
In theory, it appears that your statement is true. According to Wikipedia: "...The bulk modulus [resistance to uniform compression] of compressed [nanotubes] was 462.546 GPa [a measure of tensile strength], surpassing the value of 420 GPa for diamond." (Read more, below.) In practice, however, since a carbon nanotube measures about 1/50,000th of the width of a human hair, any scratch accomplished on a diamond could likely escape any gemologist's inspection.
