You are getting muddled? Me too John.
At the expense of sounding blunt, forget the goto at this stage, and tell us what you mount tracks like, and guides like.
I would be possibly the slackest auto-guider round, really. I have a goto mount, and most times it is "on the chip" but of late this has been annoying me (after all it is a decent mount), so I have drift aligned some more, and also hit a modeling session with T Point in TheSky. My setup is carry out, and fit to a pier, so alignment is pretty close, but not as good as a fixture.
OK, what I am saying is that regardless of the inaccuracies of your alignment, your guiding shouldn't really mis-behave that much.
From your sig, is it safe to assume the Vixen/20D is the imaging scope/camera, the WO/QHY5 the guide-scope? If so then you should be having no problems.
What software etc? I still favour both axes guiding/correcting, I certainly do it this way.
