It may sound goofy, but are you sure your right and left hand cranks are on the proper sides? I've seen unicycles assembled with no regard for pedal threading... That said, make sure the cranks are torqued down proper, the 'direct drive' makes it a little bit harder to torque to proper spec... when in doubt, hold the other arm in a vise and give it a good tug...
