You need to grease the caliper pins (the ones you remove to flip the caliper door up and get to the pads). The two halves of the caliper slid on these pins.
DO NOT use white grease (lithium grease). This will burn off in no time. You need to use high temp grease, the pink stuff that has some copper in it. Go to an auto parts store and ask for a tube of brake grease.
But I don't think this is your problem... did you reinstall the anti-rattle shims on the back of each pad? Also, check that the big spring is seated right... sometimes it is difficult to put it in perfectly and it jumps around or falls out.
