I am try to rough this part, but no matter what options I choose I end up cutting the back side and not along the arc/radius in the front. What am I doing wrong?

3D Pocket should work pretty good for this

 

I see you were attempting to use Facing, this will not work as its solely designed for just removing material across stock on the very top of the part.

I also notice the face mill you have defined has NO corner Radius, most facemills will have at least a 0.8mm(0.031") rad

Thank you for your assistance. 3d Pocket did the trick. As for the Face Mill, I had just created a tool close to what they plan to use to see if I was even close to correct.
