Even with your equipment properly adjusted, the kidney pad can rub.
I don't recommend this for short events (12 miles or less), but for trek ( 72 land nav ex in the mountains), I knew the kidney pad would eat my back. To prevent it from becoming a problem, I used a LARGE oval shaped hunk of mole skin that covered roughly the area where my kidney pad would be rubbing. I did this BEFORE it became a problem on dry skin, before I started sweating. It worked in preventing my back from getting rubbed raw, but was a son of hoot to get off after being glued and pressed into my back for three days straight.
