Greenracer. Whut? You gave them the stops buy they didn't use them!? I now feel like I want to slap them on your behalf.
4 holes? Would these be holes they drilled for the cables to go down? Either my brain is still frazzled from lack of sleep and I've misunderstood you or you really need to avoid that LBS.
Part of the problem you have is that so much of the cable is in the outer causing more friction. On top of that you have nasty bends by the clamp and the cable rubbing on the frame.
Just so we have everything straight and I don't go off on one I'll ask these questions -
The clamp on cable stop that you already have, does it have square block on either side like this? If so, good. If not show us a picture.
If you do have the clamp with the square blocks on it you'll want the adjusters like I linked in my earlier post. IIRC, those adjusters come with a new groupset anyway. When they're all on the cable threads straight through and goes down to the plastic thing under the BB.
If I lived anywhere near you I would offer to come up and help.
