By cleaning, you do mean clening the rollers inside right? Make sure there isn't a glob of dried chemistry putting the rollers off also.

Are you sure you are pulling it straight through the holder and not at a slight angle?

I am having the same problem. I recently bought a Cambo on e-bay that came with a Polaroid 545 back. Always the lower left and sometimes both left hand corners are blank white. This problem does not occur with regular b&w negatives. I assumed that there is something wrong with the Polaroid back or possibly the box of Polaroid film.
