I'll measure everything and if its really out-of-line, then I'll take it over to the LBS and ask them to take the professional tools (and a workstand) to it to get it right.
Take a measurement and see how it is.. You can get a very exact measurement if you use a piece of string; you just make a figure 8 around the downtube and seatpost tube. Where they cross is the exact center of the frame. Just measure from there to the center of the teeth.
Where the spindles greased before you put the cranks on? Oddly enough my drive side came greased but the non-drive didn't. That make some difference in how far the crank went on. Most of what I've read says to grease em up...
