I had the same problem with my (self-made) bed.

My solution was to get some 14 gauge wire, and string it up caty-corner under the bed, and then tighten it using one of those wierd thingy's that you can get at a hardware store. Doing this holds the bed together tightly, preventing movement, and thus squeaking.

Oh, the wierd thingy had 2 eye hooks, and an aluminum body that pulled the hooks closer together when twisted. I also used four or five loops of wire for strength.

Good luck.
