Note that I have not tried this, cannot verify it works, and am not recommending it. If it bricks your phone, you're on your own.
If you have not yet installed 4.3, my recommendation is that you do NOT install the OTA or sideload the official zip. Devs on XDA have posted a pre-rooted, flashable 4.3 ROM that will completely bypass the KNOX bootloader and all the problems it is causing. There is still work in progress to deal with a few relatively minor issues.
But if you have already upgraded to 4.3, and want root, this may be the only way to do it right now.

EDIT: My instructions in post #30 of this thread have worked for several people who were unable to root previously:
