Cannondale Fork Install.....Problem II....

I posted a thread yesterday about the problem I was having with the top-cap, (thread located here http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=245283 ), so today I went to a cannondale dealer and it turned out I had the wrong bolt, I needed a longer one.

So I got home all excited to finally install the fork, but then hit another snag. When I tighten the top-cap down, the entire headset siezes. The wheel and handle bars do not turn. Its possible that I re-installed the headset incorrectly, but I am pretty sure thats not the case. I am using the stock FSA alloy headset, and I noticed that the bike that the fork originally came on uses a carbon headset. Could this possibly be the source of my problem? These are both integrated headsets, and I am converting from a slice ultra with aluminum steerer, to a full carbon c'dale fork.
Any suggestions on how o fix this latest problem?
Below is a pic of my bike now with the sized fork.
Thanks for your help in advance!
