Juhani, >From what I can tell you setup should work fine.
Have you checked whether the derailer hanger is bent? See http://www.sheldonbrown.com/derailer-adjustment.html for how. Then follow Sheldon's derailer adjustment procedure on the same page (start on the largest cog instead of the smallest, as your derailer is low normal, and reverse all his instructions ["shift down" becomes "up", etc.]). If it still doesn't work, simply turn the indexing off. :) I turned the shifting off on my 9 speed Shimano bar ends (with low normal XTR derailer) after getting Silver bar ends on my other bike. I much prefer friction shifting now, though for 20 years I rode bar ends in index mode. The Shimanos however don't friction shift as well as the Silvers, so I just ordered a second pair of shifters from Riv, and will just use the Shimano bar end pods with them.
