Mike,
You mentioned that Q1 was getting hot - it does not normally. The only
thing that I can spot on the schematic for possibilities is D4 - if it were
reversed, it would place 5 volts on the gate of Q1 and make it conduct
heavily. The anode (unmarked end) of D4 should be closest to the edge of
the board.
