I am getting an error saying. Problem with finish shape. Anyhelp greatly appreciated. It throws the error when the g71 is read. Thanks

The start point can be the same as the first move point, it's not so important. Yes it's pointless but it's not a deal breaker.
That program has *MANY* issues. The main ones were you are machining a pocket (tool moving to a larger diameter) and you had not enabled TYPE II canned cycles (assuming you even have the option). Then on the G71 line you have a couple of O's in the W word (the letter O, should be number 0) unless that was a typo.
Then you are using G42 and you should be using G41. And many other little things. Compare the two programs and you will see.....
