Probably the best way is is go to Advance Auto Parts or Sears and get a flexible Wheel cylinder hone, use that with some oil and a drill, quickly and gently. It doesn't take a lot to clean up a seat post tube. They make hones with three adjustable stones but I think whose will tend to remove to much material and will probably get chipped/stuck in the seat post slot cutting.
