Chain/ chainring compatibility???

Hello guys,
Finally had enough of dropping chains/chainsuck and all other annoyances of the front shift sytem. Very nearly cost me a win yesterday, so I'm going to go 1 x 10 speed, I only do XC racing and a bit of trail (plus I don't live in the peaks or anything!)
Please don't rib me about poor shifting, I have a double chainring set up at the moment and the chainline is sh1te, it is a dedicated double set up too, just seems to be way over, just like using a triple without a granny. The front mech/shifter is from a triple setup too so even with the stop screws set up as best as possible I either get chain rub at the top of the cassette or it drops the chain every other downshift.
My question is, I know that a 10speed chain is narrower but will it still run on a standard 9 speed chainring? I was hoping to keep my middleburn cranks and use a 34T uno ring with an MRP chain device and a new 11-36 XT set up on the back.
If single ring is ok for Oli Beckingsale then it's gotta be good?...Eh?

I have a Homebrewed chainrig (29t, I am fat and old) which is 9-speed and I tried a 10-speed road chain (which mat be of different width to the MTB) and it was "almost" compatible but not quite.
I am having the ring filed by a friend who has a lathe. Both he and the lbs reckon it'll be fine.
Will update but I might just go 9-speed for the moment.
