Could be air in the master cylinder. It can sometimes be a pain to get it
all out.
Or, it could be a bad pilot bushing. If bad, it can grab the input shaft
and spin it causing the problem you describe.
Try taking the line off of the master cylinder and run a short hose back to
the reservoir. Then pump until you are POSITIVE that all of the air is out.
Hook the line back up and bleed the slave. If this doesn't clear it up I
would be suspicious of the pilot bushing.

Even when the clutch slave is clearly adjusted so that the throwout is
touching the leafs springs on the inside of the clutch the gears grind when
the clutch is engauged.

The only other thoughts I had were 1) got the wrong master from a supplier
who had it incorrectly cross listed 2) got the wrong clutch from an in
incorrected cross list 3) put the clutch in backwards (although I doubt it)
