Is your sprocket "dished in" or "dished out"? That's part of the alignment problem.
All the bikes I have build except one, the sprocket had to be "dished in".

let us know how it's going.

Look down the chain run and see what is out of alignment, it could just be that your rear wheel isn't on straight.
