To get back to the OP, I'd check the guides are going home - it's possible for one to be one tooth out and not fit snugly into the V-block. Also, if someone's been there before you then who knows what's been twiddled or broken, so maybe back tension issues might not be so far fetched.
Now Tim, you surely wouldn't align a B&O like that, would you?!
I've had congealed grease prevent one (or both) of the guides settling into the V-blocks. It led me a merry dance for a while!
