A simple thing to check, have you got the right spokes going to the right holes on the hub?
It was brought up a couple of months ago by someone else too but cant find it now.
The last wheel I built I got this wrong by one hole and it turned out exactly as you describe - half tight and half loose and no tension

No Pics, unfortunately. I take up the slack and the spokes reach there limit and the spokes haven't the slightest bit of tension. Rear Wheel is at least a centimeter off the centerline of the wheel and that's with the drive side at there limit and the non drive completely loose.
