You've got squared blanks, you've checked the alignment of your head and tail stocks, you've checked that you're mandrel is true, you say you are not over tightening the nuts on the mandrel - frankly there's not a lot left to check. However, SOMETHING is causing the problem. Have you compared the i/d of your bushes to the o/d of your mandrel?
