The difference in tension is normal and is one of the drawbacks of dished wheels. Even the slight dishing of a single fixed track hub can cause noticeable differences in tension between drive/non-drive side spokes.
You can test whether the spokes are over-tightened by stress relieving the spokes. You squeeze parallel pairs of spokes one each side (assuming both sides are laced in a cross pattern) as hard as you can. Wear leather gardening gloves or something. Go round the wheel squeezing them and then check if the wheel has gone out of true. If it has then you need to back the spoke tension down a bit, re-true and try again.
It's a bit hard to describe which spokes to squeeze - if you can get hold of a good wheel building book they usually have a diagram to explain it. You're squeezing two spokes that are on the same side with one hand, and do the same on the other side with the other hand.
