And make sure you position the clamp very near the end of the larger tubing.
 
Also, threaded SS fasteners (including worm-drive hose clamps) can gall 
together.  A dab of appropriate antiseize compound on the worm threads prevents 
galling (and minimizes the cursing).

Totally agree with Jake,  I suspect this is the problem.
This has happened to me also.  
I have put another slot with a hacksaw opposite the original slot as Jake 
said.  Works great.
