I have a Canon T ring, and a 1.25" adapter which i connect to the powermate, i have connected an eyepiece to the powermate with the extension in and it focuses just fine.

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?
