What it could be is one of the spring hitting the inside of the stanction when it compresses. In my DH fork, when I have the fork in pieces, if I compresses the springs while they're on the spring rods attached to the dampers, the springs compress and then flex a little towards the outside.

If that clicking sound is too annoying and if you do find out it's the springs, get some shrink-tubing (for electric wiring) from HomeDepot and put some on at the spot where the spring bends outwards.
