are you using new school bars?

I never knew there was a difference in bar diameter at the stem tube, should the the stem have a shim? don't see what the point would be though.

what stem is it?

not an MTb stem is it? not that I thought MTb bars were fatter either, but just an idea.

What stem is it, sounds like it must be a MTB stem as they come in different sizes.

post a piccy up Greg.....sounds like it could be a Downhill MTB stem which would be for 'oversized' bars  :daumenhoch:
