I really hope you get this resolved to your full satisfaction. I know how frustrating little clicks/creaks/squeaks can be.
I have a Surly Steamroller fixed gear bike--not really like your Karate Monkey, except in the frame materials & construction. It is truly a wonderful bike, and one I'd have a hard time parting with.
Don't give up. Using a logical, methodical process, you'll eventually get that thing to run quietly.
