To be honest, it shouldn't make much difference - the Powermates are not sensitive to the backfocus distance.

The front lens of the Powermate has to be positioned inside the prime focus of the scope to function - it sounds like this is where the problem may lie.
Have you tried the Powermate with a low power eyepiece - to see if you can reach focus?
this sounds more likely the culprit - good pick up!
