Problem fitting rear derailleur

Thanks for looking at what is my first post on this site. I managed to break my old deore m510 derailleur on my claud butler hybrid. I bought a shimano m592 to replace it.

I have managed to fit it OK but have found that the chain rubs badly against a piece of metal halfway down the arm between the two jockey wheels (if that is what you call them?). The piece of metal seems to be a kind of guide but surely it should rub like this? As it stand this is going to wear out my chain surely?
I have followed the instructions etc and watched videos on youtube on how to fit these things but I am not really an expert so would value thought.
Cheers

If you can split the chain easily (if it has a split link) the you can split the chain and re-route it through the cage so it doesn't rub on that guide bit. If you can't split the chain you need to split the cage, by un-doing the allen bolts in the jockey wheels (careful not to lose the bushings from the jockey wheels). Then you can run the chain through and re-fit the back of the cage....quite fiddly doing it that way!
Look here for detailed instructions and pics, hope it helps.
