If the two piece does not rub then logically the crank has to be part of the problem. Rubbing on both sides obviously can't be an adjustment issue, and I don't think square taper spindles bend/flex. If the BB is correctly adjusted then your choices are to use a different BB or to up your cadence, so that you aren't mashing as much on the pedals.
