before you freak out about frame facing and all this stuff, help us out. take the headset apart and verify both bearings are installed correctly, the narrow side of the bearing retainer always lines up with the "cone" part of the headset ( o/\o <---sideview.) make sure you have 2 bearings (silly thing, i know).
make sure the lower bearing is installed correctly, look for rubbing, metal shavings, etc. somethings either missing or installed incorrectly for this to happen.
edit: in cane creek headsets its not uncommon to find a centering wedge, a peice that centers the headset bearing on the steertube. that may be something to look for
