I still have the same problem. I'm thinking that something is up with the pressure plate or clutch disk and will have to disassemble again.
Thanks for your thoughts.

My bet is the clutch disc lining has become stuck to the flywheel surface.
Had you not adjusted the pressure plate, I would have suggested a couple of ways to free the disc. with it still in the vehicle With the P/P being "adjusted" now, my suggestion is to completely disassemble and rebuild the pressure plate and re-line the disc.
