Narrative:

Passing FL300 in the climb to FL330; ten mi past clare on the clare 2 dfw RNAV departure; center advised we'd missed our turn to poten and directed an immediate turn to 060 degrees. The call totally surprised us and we scrambled to figure out the situation. We'd paid careful attention to the clearance at dfw with the emphasis on RNAV sids. During route verification; the clare 2 swb portion fell between pages on the FMS legs page. We inadvertently read and programmed the clearance as clare direct swb. Clare fell at the bottom of one legs rate and swb started the next. During route confirmation; somehow I missed the two intervening points; poten and treke. I think I placed emphasis on the first three points and relaxed on the following points. ATC advised that no problems had resulted. Lesson learned -- examine the transition legs. Odd -- I had caught this kind of thing in the past. Missed it that day.callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter advised the pre departure clearance printout was unclear that a transition was required between clare and swb.
