Did you see any wear patterns on the clutch or pressure plate?  Did you replace the clutch arm ball mount as well?  It's #5 in this diagram.

How old is the slave cylinder?  Those can take a beating, and if they're not properly bled the pedal won't cleanly disengage the clutch plate.  Reverse bleeding with a cheap oil can is the ticket.
