GS Mini....is this a setup issue?

I tune the guitar without a capo. I then capo the 2nd fret. Strings 1-5 are fine, the low E is way out....sharp.

Are you using a Kyser capo? With me 4,5,6 go sharp, but 3,2,and 1 are ok when using a Kyser capo

Can you try it with a capo that uses an adjustable tension?
The Mini might have a lower string tension to start with (is it short scale?), and the Kyser spring is really strong and it might be over-clamping the low E.
Just a thought.
