Argo Navis Problem?

set up the Argo tonight and tried to do an alignment and then a goto to check accuracy.
G11 polar aligned, time, date, location entered.
encoder directions are both positive values when scope moved in ra/dec with scope on east side of mount.
acrux as alignment star then picked ngc3372 as goto object, moved scope until values read 0 on both axis, scope ends up on western side of mount pointing to the west of the southern cross? nowhere 3372, can anyone pinpoint something l am doing wrong. l have repeated this a couple of times with the same result. thanks.
