Andrew, I've heard that sometimes when a new clutch is used without the flywheel being machined that a bit of beding in may be required as the flywheels can wear on a bit of a taper and the new plate may only just touch.Probably better to talk to the people you bought it from.A mate bought a heavy duty button clutch for his rota recently and had the same thing happen.Turned out it had stuff all clamping pressure.Apparently they used the wrong diaphram for the cover.When i bought my clutch the guy put it on the machine just to check the clamping pressure(3100lb).Hope you get the problem solved as theres nothing worse than a sliping clutch.
