Default Dovetail advice needed for a newbie

I was experimenting with the dovetail jig I got from Rockler today. I made a
few cuts in some scrap wood until everything fit well and both sides of the
wood (pin and dovetail) were flush. However, I see about a 1/32" space
between the sloped sides of the pins and the cut out for the dovetail. I
don't know how to make that fit tighter. If I raise the router bit, I will
eliminate the 1/32" space but I will leave a space where the flat end of the
pin touches the flat bottom of the dovetail. If you can't picture what I am
talking about I will post this same message in
alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking along with a somewhat fuzzy picture of the
dovetails I did (I had to get close to get the picture.

Thanks. I have to make 6 drawers for dresser I am making so I want to get
this right.
