Check the alignment of the insert. If the back edge is too low, the wood catches on the top casting.

Thanks everyone. I checked everything on the saw once again, fiddled with the fence alignment, checked the riving knife alignment and scratched my head as I got ready to dive into the innards of the saw and check the belts and pulleys...turns out it was the throat plate/insert, it was too low on the outfeed side. I thought I had adjusted it while putting the saw together, and so I didn't check that again. It's the simplest things. Thanks for all the responses!
I had a similar problem with my Delta. It ended up being the riving knife slightly ou of alianment.
