Yes, tighten it some more. That bolt is designed to be torqued quite a bit - instructions say 20 Nm (14 lbft).

Err... generally any kind of "cracking" noise when tightening carbon. I'd inspect the post -- or better yet, ask your LBS to do a check -- to make sure that you didn't cause any damage. Cracking / splintering your seatpost on a ride is definitely not something you want to experience!

The head end of the Ergopost is pretty damned solid. You can torque it down quite a bit more than your average carbon bit.
Anyway, I have a Kium Arione attached to an Ergo4, and it works fine. Have you tried applying some of that anti-slip paste? It might help.
