I have tried my best to fix this. And i have got very good result. But every picture i have created alpha channels to all the pictures and had to set very precise control points. The overall project size came to 181mb because i used uncompressed tiff. I am uploading it right now with the project file. Will share the link once it's done, Here is the optimization result i got...
still i couldn't save your leg and a small error on the window(which i noticed later)
And here is the final tour link which i have created. Thanks to john for sharing me this thread over email.

Hello Hans
Sorry for the delayed response. I worked all night to finish all of the 8 panos which i took. I had hard time to do that... but finally did it somehow.
Equipment i used: CANON 40D, TOKINA 10-17mm @ 10mm, Nodal Ninja 5 with upper rotator lock.
Hans, you were absolutely right that i must have not properly mounted in my panohead. But on this shoot i have had a problem since the day before i tried to set the paralax point and finally found at 96 - 54 i dont see a paralax. So i somewhat changed the settings i guess.
I meant, usually when i take the pano the upper rotator will be pointing on my right hand side and i start from 0*. But when i was taking this shot it was on my left side and i was confused and i didnt' want to act that i didnt' know what i was doing. So i just took it and then remounted it again.
The worst thing was, my panohead rotator was sliding very smoothly and i couldn't figure out what it was. I tightened all the screws but when i completed i noticed the nodal ninja screw on top of the rotator was lose. 
Do you think that would caused all these issues? Could be, but my doubt is in my previous panos also i have been having the same issue, but that time i was shooting at 98mm on my upper rail.
Okay, how to find that i have a horizontal and vertical shift? I guess i placed it properly, still i am not sure. I just bought a two way leveler. And i really wonder how you work on that panos and make it stitch nicely.. it's great...
thank you so much all. And by the way as hans mentioned i have just increased the quality of the picture in camera raw to 4000x6000(not exactly). I guess it has nothing to do with the stitching...
So what i should do now to check everything is workign properly? And am going to buy a manfrotto tripod 755xb. I hope it's a very good one. Right now i dont have such a very sturdy tripod.
Today evening am going to shoot one indoor volleyball match where my friend is playing.. planning to take a 360. I make sure i mount properly and wanna see the result...

hello michael,
thanks for the tip. let me understand it very clear...
sawtooth to the circle of your rotator, you are too far left or right, (so i need to move my vertical rail from the horizontal rail left or right). am i correct?
if the circle bulges or is clipped you are too far front or back (move my camera front or back on my upper rail? am i correct?
what is bulges or clipped means? am not very good in english. pls bear... with me.

hi
i agree with you. but how do i calibrate my panohead? finally i found the upper rail setting without paralax is 96mm after taking lot of tests. and lower rail i set to 54 where i used the thread to setup the entrance pupil centered to the panohead. i dont know what else i should do to calibrate it... or is that all does not mean calibration?
and i know that door has hard time to find the cp's. finally i got a reasonable result from autopano giga and i fixed the blending in the door areas in photoshop. but i still got few more panos to complete. please help me to calibrate my panohead so atleast in my future panoramas i can avoid these kind of errors.
as i written earlier, when i didn't know much about these things my result were pretty good. but now i am having these kind of errors. my bad...
i hope you guys wont leave me hanging till i fix this issue for my future panoramas. looking forward to hear from you all the fix you got for me.
and thanks for looking at those panos. dennis i responded to your email. pls check.
thanks

Hi
I have opened a new thread asking for smartblend to fix the horizontal or vertical stitching errors i have been getting in all of my panos. I tried everything i could but couldn't make it work.
Yesterday i got my first paid job where i had to take 8 panos and all of them having the same issues.
It happens either in the door, or on the ceiling etc. Attached the whole project files in the following url.
www.yousendit.com/download/ZW9EV28rcTJiV3hjR0E9PQ
Please help me to fix that error. I am really frustrated Infact i tried to use smartblend in windows but still it doesnt' fix. Hans asked me to upload the project files, i hope you(everyone) can definetly help me to come out of this situation.
When i knew not much about panoramic just in one click (align images from ptgui) gave me super result. But now am adding so many control points manually and deleting the bad points still doesn't help much. I hope you can help. But still, i couldnt' set cp less then 5 or 10...
If any information are needed i will be more glad to provide the pics. thanks in advance!

PTGui - Smartblend for Mac Snow Leopard

Hello,
How is everyone? Okay, i desperately need smartblend work on my mac. I am a very new user to mac. And somewhat my panos always ends up stitching with horizon stitch errors. I set my paralax point using the NN video tutorial by bill.
And, i take 10* tilted down from the following pitches 0-60-120-180-240-300- & back to 0*
And tilted up 60* to take zenith shots and one from 90* and one 90* tilted down for nadir.
In ptgui using align images it seems to stitch properly. But i get lot of horizon stitching errors. I set manual normal control points and few vertical cp's as well. Still i get the same errors. And i believe smartblend somehow fix it to the maximum. I got my first paid job on coming monday and i dont want to give any faulty pano.
I made smartblend working on my mac by using Darwine and smartblend both on the applications folder and set the path. It worked very well. And my machine was running slow and i did a clean reinstallation of snow leopard. Previous OS also was snow leopard. Now i do the same procedure but it still throughs the smartblend failed error I desperately need the fix for this.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone can fix these issues and get me error free spherical.
Can't wait to hear from you. There was a thread about this, but i got no response from there for my 2 replies... so i thought new thread will get some attention. Please help...

Hello Pano Lovers
I really can't put it in words the way i feel about nodal ninja company and their customer service. Especially Bill. They have replaced my Nodal Ninja because of the small issue i have been having. You may be convinced saying that all company will replace. But can you expect them to replace the way you expect?
That's where nodal ninja & bill comes. Yes, He received my NN5 today and he told me by max he could do that driving 30 miles for me to get it shipped by tomorrow overnight since i need it for a shoot on thursday. But supposedly he has to send it to me on friday since they are on holiday tomorrow.
I did not want him to drive 30 miles for me and i convinced myself because i made a mistake not sending it in express shipping so it got delayed. But now he replaced it and sent it in a USPS express shipping.
Which company cares that you take pano or no? All they care about is to sell their products and simply make money. They are least worried about what you do and when you need it.
But NODAL NINJA IS THE BEST EVER FOR PANORAMIC INDUSTRY.
Anyone would like to write a review about Nodal Ninja please use this thread. It will be helpful for the future buyers.
Thank You!
Best

/Applications/Smartblend/smartblend.exe
It works now. Thank you so much!

hans, cleaning? what do you mean by cleaning? just clean with a soft cloth which i have in the lens cleaning kit? if it's what you mean i have done that many times. and when i see the lens i see it very clear. i dont even see any finger printts or dust in that. i dont know why. anyways i have returned it and placed a new order for tokina 10-17mm fish eye.
thanks for uploading those files in your website john. i really appreciate it.
and sorry about 7zip. that's the best extractor i have seen in compression. so i used it. i did not think of mac. sorry.
