Peter,

You have one too many column specifiers in your tabular environment by
comparison to what you have in your table. change lrrrrrr to lrrrrr

That fixes the right edge problem.

I think the right justfication problem arrises because you put the
contents in a parbox which gets typeset flushleft in the specified
width. Putting a \flushright inside the parbox text pushes all the text
to the right though that is perhaps not exactly what you want.
