Sounds like disc run out. A while go I had a similar prob with new AP strapdrive discs, in the end I sold them to a guy who accepted the prob and got them refaced by AP (apparantly they were very helpful) and he was well pleased. Suggest you find someone with a dial gauge and check for runout. Possibly remove the discs again and make sure the hub faces are clean so disc sits flat. Some runout can be addressed by indexing the discs (ie trying in different positions on the hub) so errors in disc and hub cancel each other out.
