Richard,
The nut is critical to getting the trem working properly: Lube it up with a
little graphite (others may suggest something better), and, more critically,
take it to someone who really does know how to cut a nut. Before you have
this done, you will have to pretty much decide on what string gauge you'll
use going forward: A well-cut nut will usually allow some adjacent gauge
changes, but don't count on it.
Good luck,
-Brad

I have it floating. I had thought about tightening it
against the body to see if that fixed it.

By "binding" do you mean hearing the string kind of
pop as it moves through the nut? I can hear the
strings squeaking a bit when I work the trem.
