I had the same problem once or twice with my Tokina 10-17 in my Hugyfot. It turned out to be a false mounting of the gear on the lens.
This is how I do it now and it never happend again:
The rubber ring has to sit on the focus ring of the lens without overlaping on either side. To get the gear ring close enough to the gear in the housing, it must not sit centric on the rubber ring but one groove further out to the back (nearer to the camera body). Like this the rubber ring won't slip and turn off axis.

Was that explanation clear enough?    If not I can take a picture of it  

Not wanting to be left out:

I'll add this one, because it is worth seeing again:

Didn't know Phil Collins is a gun nut.

Thanks all for the congrats and congrats to all other winners! Especially to Rand and Keri - very impressive pictures!

This is the thread Erik was referring to:

I just saw on divervision website that the patima case is sold for 949,95$

The Patima housing is definitely the way to go with this cam! I just flooded the second Xacti in the crappy Epoque housing.
