Yikes!

Okay, that's really weird. I would guess you didn't clean up the mounting
surface on the front of the hub, and corrosion buildup is preventing the
rotor from seating on the hub properly. Either that or the inner bearing
race isn't seated properly in the hub, so the hub is sticking out slightly. 

Or, you left the stock spacers in place which offset the caliper inboard?

Don't start filing anything yet. Take it all apart and check everything
carefully. I'm betting this is a minor installation error problem, easily
resolved. 

Let us know what you find out!

Mike
