an unforseen build issue

Related to the "crank/chainring option" thread...

I started building my new IRO Jamie Roy this afternoon, and everything was looking great until the cranks went on. I haven't even torqued down the drive-side crank bolt all the way and the spider tabs are already touching the chainstay! I'm using sugino 75s and the matching bottom bracket (which I believe is symmetrical, and installed correctly, anyway). I have heard of people filing down the back of the crank spider, but these cranks don't have much room to mess with that without effing the chainring bolts.

I noticed that the off-the-rack Jamie Roy has a 130 BCD crank. Will it even be possible to run 144 BCD with 42mm chainline on this frame? Am I going to have to buy a new crankset?

This might have been relevant information before I bought the frame, dammit.

Anyone have any experience with this particular setup?
