Chris, I think you're going down the right track, as your turning the wheel the fender is likely pivoting somewhere. it could be that the stays for the fender are not aligned, it could be you're not getting a good seat at the daruma between the daruma rubber washer and the fender, so that it's creeping into the head-tube. I would not loosen the daruma as i think that would cause it to wobble/creep more.
The herse guys have this nifty widget http://www.renehersestore.com/servlet/the-520/Fender-Wedge-for-underside/Detail meant to create a more positive seal between fender and daruma. i was looking at this until i rigged up my DIY solution as i was having the same sort of wobble/creep at the front of my fender.
