pcb-gcode produced drill file on EMC/Linuxcnc

I am having issues with the drill sizes and tool loads that pcb-gcode produces. The tools in my ULP drill file do not match the tools in my cnc drill file. I posted on the EMC/Linuxcnc forum:

Hi. I changed to the new linuxcnc2.5 from EMC2 just this weekend. I never had an issue with the old EMC setup.
My problem is this:
I use pcb-gcode to get my etch and drill g-code. I have setup the tool table in that ULP to match my drill bits. The output is acceptable.
I have formatted the tool table in linuxcnc to look exactly like my tool table in my ULP (which spits out the g-code i need)
problem is that when axis prompts me to change to tool 1(or any tool), tool 1 (or any tool) in axis is not tool 1 from the gcode. Is there some way I am not configuring it correctly?
I have seen where someone maybe cleared out the axis tool.tbl and just used the gcode. Is the output gcode from pcb-gcode ULP accepted by axis or am i thinking about this all wrong?
I would just like to be able to have axis tell me change to tool 1, then change to tool 4, then change to tool 8 (or whatever tools is required).
Any suggestions?
Can I provide any more info to make my explanation more clear?

I asked in the EMC/Linuxcnc forum but evidently it is an issue with the way pcb-gcode calls the tools and tool change.
Example ULP drill file:

The response I got:

Your not loading the tool offset with G43. My typical tool load line is:

T1 M6 G43

Sorry for the long ass post but but this is killing me. I didnt have the issue with EMC2.3 or whatever so I know that there is a way to make it work. Do I need to manually chagne the g-code in my drill files? If it's a formating issue (g-code instructions) is there a way to manipulate the source or a prepend somewhere where I can tell the ULP to output code for linuxcnc to understand and use?
