Thanks Guillermo, I'll have to mess around with it some more. I used the
"trimming the little plastic tabs off with a razor blade method" so maybe
this is causing some misalignment. I'm also not completely sure that the
camera I used is in 100% working order (I only ran 1 pack of film through it
before disassembly!).

I also have an old time-zero camera in which I load 600 film, with no
problem whatsoever.  The battery contacts line up perfectly with those in
the camera.  The only problem is inserting the 600 in the time-zero, to
achieve that, you first insert a piece of thin cardboard in the camera, then
the 600 cartridge and finally pull out the cardboard (instead of cardboard
you could also use a 600 discarded photo or the cardboard that comes on top
of the 600 cartridge when new).
