I am using the exact same servo and arm and I noticed the same thing. It is a tight clearance. So far I have not had any rubbing or interference.

I used the tip of an exact-o blade to place a small little dab in the notch of every tooth. While this may seem to be a little OCD it ensures nice even coverage. Even if you lay it on too thick it will all just sling off onto the inside of the case and you can pull it off and wipe it up later.

I asked the guys at Schumacher the same question. Their response was basically "as loose as you can without it jumping". It's hard to describe the setting objectively because there is really no way to measure it without using some kind of belt tensioning tool. Based on "feel" I would say looser than you might think would be OK.
