Jeff,

Have you done the same setup with prescribed slip where the slip 
distribution has the same shape as the traction distribution? I *highly* 
recommend you do that problem first to optimize the size of the domain 
and mesh discretization. You should use the nonlinear solver and verify 
that it requires only 1 SNES iteration.

I will look at the files you posted some more and see if I spot any issues.

Brad
