Are you sure you hit the torque correctly? The actual amount of torque required on SRAM's stuff is fairly significant... I used an 18" long, 3/8" torque wrench to hit it on mine (very easily i might add) and was nowhere near spec with just a hex wrench. under-torquing will result in a loosened non-drive side arm eventually and that will kill the BB because of how SRAM/Truvativ cranks are designed.
