Sounds like you did a thorough job checking everything out.
Try putting an extra link in the chain, You may need to put in 2 ??? Trial and error. The shims between the dropout hanger and the derailleur body allow getting a close fit. The derailleur should swing back and forth smoothly with no slop. The other thing, there is usually a thin lock nut that goes on the pivot bolt on the inside of the dropout.
