NX Rigid Tapping Errors (Feed per rev doesn't match pitch)

I'm using Vericut 8.1 thru the NX interface and can't figure out how to avoid getting this error. I can't place a spindle marker in my machine control statement because the posted output will be incorrect. I've set "Tool spindle always on" in the project tree, but it doesn't help. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Everything else is working correctly except for tapping.

This is the .cls output:
