What chainring/ sprocket combo are you running?
38 x 16 with Rohloff dual pulley tensioner. The guy I got my Kickback from had the same setup and had the same rub. A number of other BD owners have reported the same thing. If that was the only issue I'd probably still be using the Kickback, but added to the other functionality issues it was simply too many negatives to justify using it.

I have one of the first batch of BD's made. It's possible that something has changed.
