Arc problems

I'm using mastercamX to create G-code for my lathe, up until now I have been using TurboCNC on the machine but I wanted to try Mach3 so I installed and all seems to work fine with the wizards. So i brought up an nc program I used with TurboCNC and I get these huge arcs. I tried flipping the IJ switch in Mach's config menu but that did not make it work. Here's part of the code that will not work.

G3 X.71 Z11.3931 R40.
G1 Z13.625
X.625 Z13.6675
Z14.25

I switched mastercamX to IJ mode and got this code, but it too didn't work with Mach

Any body have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Here's a picture. Last night I worked on it some more and I discovered that if I put mastercam's "Arc center type" to "Delta center to start" I get the following code.

which Mach seems to like. This is a fairly simple part, I plan to try some more complex parts this weekend to see if I have really found the problem.
