My 10 speed American Classic cassette works well with my 9 speed DA 28 hole rear hub laced to Open Pro rims. The only exception is when on the 25 (innermost) cog, the rear der cage rubs against the crossover point of the drive side spokes. I'm tempted to file down the rear der cage at that point since it seems to require about a millimeter extra tolerance. I've already adjusted the screw to the maximum allowable limit and still be able to shift to that cog.
Has anyone else had this problem with this kind of setup?

Don't file your der - add a .5 mm cassette spacer between your 25t and the freehub. Also, before doing that, check that your der hanger to make sure it isn't bent.
I suppose you could file your der, but that seems like such an extreme answer. The spacer is more elegant. And if your hanger is bent, just give it a tweak (if you have steel) and you won't have to do anything else.
