Since he was outside without magic, the dagger didn't effect him there, so he could walk back in with the scroll, I guess. Actually, Belle only tells Rumple to leave Storybrooke. She never says her can't return. Her actual words were: "Rumplestiltskin, I command you to leave Storybrooke." That's it. And after that Rumple says he won't be able to come back, thanks to Ingrid's Cloaking Spell. The way I interpret it, she thinks she just has to make him cross the town line and they would be free of him forever. She didn't remember/didn't know about the scroll, so she presumed crossing = leaving... Oh man you're right! I totally have a memory of Belle saying "and never return." I just rewatched the clip and it's not there. I replayed it like a million times in my head wrong.
