Uh-oh, coolant coming out of the head

As most of you have seen, I got my tractor running after a rebuild this morning. Only ran it for a few minutes when I noticed coolant coming out of one of the nuts holding down the head. I torqued everything down again and started it real quick, but coolant is still coming out. Obviously I have a problem with the head gasket or head bolts. My head gasket came in an engine gasket kit. Maybe not one of the best. I used copper spray gasket material on it when installing. Too much? Too little? Didn't get the head bolts tight enough before I put the head on? I know I need to pull everything, and change fluids, but any idea what I did wrong? Bad enough to do it wrong once, rather not do it wrong twice.
