What makes of clamp have you been using?
You need to use something to stop the post slipping that is specifically designed for carbon such as:-

Mmm... Get a decent clamp like Salsa or Chromag (if you're feeling flush).
I assume both clamp and post are the right size?

I have been worried about that, I put a ally post in today to see if it was any different but had the same problem, In the end I had to wind the nut with a pair of plyers to get it tight. it lasted a full days ride with no problem. I will have a look into the carbon past stuff. thanks
the post is 27.2 im 98% sure its the right size, I was surprised the ally post slipped too
hehehe cool......................................... 
try a dab of carbon paste. this contains tiny balls that help grip the post.
the post you have, 27.2mm is tiny - most mtb post are typically 31.6 to 34.9 mm so have a larger surrface area.
I have found that doing up lightweight seatpost clamps results in the ends of the clamp bending so the force does not go to clamping the post.
