WinCNC processor code changing controller settings

I've recently switched from using ArtCAM to using Inventor HSM for our router work and I'm having some issues with the controller now.
I'm using a WinCNC controller on a routermaster router table and the output code seems to change the defaults that I set on the controller when I set up the workpiece. Here are the steps I used to do with the ArtCAM cnc files.
1) Set home position, XYZ all set for the workpiece.
2) Open the CNC file and preview
3) Hit the "Go Home" button (....the X & Y coordinates now show 0,0)
4) Run the program
Doing the same steps as I used to, but using the HSM outputed code for the cnc file when I hit the "Go Home" button, the controller displays the home as being X -0.25, Y -2.437. So when the program starts, it doesn't start from the desired origin.
This obviously sets the origin of the workpiece wrong in relation to the tool and the cuts will be in the wrong place. For this particular program the new X & Y are consistently -0.25 and -2.437, but different for other programs.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there some section of the post processor coding that could be changing the origin position?
Thanks
