Bill,
Jim's advice is good; sounds more sophisticated than my solution and
probably best to try his first.
I had one (of several) single bolt Nitto seatposts become a chronic
slipper.
I ended up lightly scuffing (took the shine off) both sides of the
smooth surface that the lower clamp rides

The stock Hillborne seatpost is not a Nitto. But a copy of one.
Besides Jim's good suggestions, will add you might want to take a
piece of medium grit sandpaper and slightly roughen up the parts of
the post where the lower clamp and post itself meet.
At the worst, your local bike shop would
Thanks for the tips. Maybe I am just missing something fundamental
but I *still* can't get the seat to hold against even hand pressure on
the seat, after scuffing the post and using a pair of vice-grips as a
lever arm to extend the length of my Allen wrench.

Something's definitely wrong then. Are you sure it's assembled
correctly?
No! It seems like there's only one way it can go together, in terms
of stacking the parts, but I am not certain of that. From bottom to
top, it goes bolt -
Often that clamp will slip if the convex washer isn't perfectly
aligned in the recessed part of the post. I'd suggest greasing the
bolt, making sure everything lines up, and try again. If that doesn't
work, try a different post. I suggest a Kalloy Laprade.

Try turning the toothed piece 180 degrees. Looking at mine the arc in
the little toothed piece is not even. One side is thinner than the
other. This might work on the forward curve of the seatpost.
If that still doesn't work, will second Jim Thill's suggestion.
