Mesh gets deformed when parented

Support Modeling
1

So I have an armature with modelled bones attach to it, now when I try to parent a modelled skin to it as well the skin mesh gets deformed and quite hideous.

Here;s the blend

http://www.filefactory.com/file/ah2a324/n/skinningsmall_blend

and here’s a screen of the thumb being parented.

ANy body know why?
I have a similar thread in animations but it’s not really an animation question

thanks

Yeah, they where needed before, but I don’t need them anymore and I don’t know how to delete those datablocks.
