VisualCAMc origin problem

I'm having a problem with VCc which is that the system seems to be putting my origin in a weird place. When I first start milling, the machine attempts to move to z = 111 prior to actually milling. The 111 number seems to come from the distance between the origin in the part studio and the part surface + .25mm clearance (as defined in the mlling job). I'm also concerned about the X = -23 and Y = -101 initial motion, which doesn't make much sense either. These were output using Mach3 MM as the post processor. The entire part measures 66 x 40 x 2 (approximately) so numbers much larger shouldn't appear in the milling file.
You can see that in the first few lines of g-code:
