Tom,
As you can see by the Reflector responses, there may be several possible factors.
You did not mention if your aircraft is a fixed gear or RG.
If it is a fixed gear, the mounting position of the main wheel pants can cause the aircraft to roll at slow speeds.  Lift the aircrat on jacks and take a look to see if one (or both!) of the wheel pants are skewed in an odd direction.

  Are both wings of equal weight ?
  Are winglet incidences & chord the same ?

    Thanks for the thought--measured both sides and they were dead even. If 
    they were off I would suppose it would create more of an issue at higher 
    speeds. I'm baffled by this only being a low speed issue.
