Yup! You guys were right! I didn't have the marks lined up correctly. The right side was a little more forward than the left side. I got them adjusted and the noise is gone!
THANKS!!!!! That was a HUGE help! (I'm sure I'll have another problem in a few days)

I rolled it around the shop and that seemed to fix the problem. Then I went to ride on it (I'm 6' 2" and about 220 lbs). When I sat on the bike and moved it out onto the driveway I could hear the chain really rubbing on the inside.
