I don't know if this will help but try the same thing on some scrap that you sand only to 150 grit. If that doesn't help then you need to switch to someone else's stain.

I've had that happen. When it is fresh just grab a lint-free rag and rub like crazy to get the stain out of the grain pores.
I guess I would use some alcohol to try to do the same after it has dried.
You have to rub hard to get into the grain pores.

Oh yeah, another option would be to use a grain filler before the stain. That will keep the stain from getting into the pores.
