Are you sure you have set up the position correctly?
You/Wayne (red) are the top player, moving clockwise to the top right. Bob
(white) is the bottom player, moving anti-clockwise to the bottom right.
Look at the pip count! Are both sides playing monster back games?
The chequers are arranged in a position that would be more commonly found if
red were playing anti-clockwise to the bottom right.
I suspect you've entered the position incorrectly.

Thanks again,
I'm pretty sure player turn has been set to be red. Red (me) has rolled 3-2 in
the move list (move #4).
I've also attached a more detailed image of the GUI's red direction of play
arrow indicator (circled next to the 1-point)
http://old.nabble.com/file/p35257366/position%2B05%2Bwrong%2Bred%2Bdirection.jpg
This shows the red bearing off quadrant is at the top right of the board I
would like the red bearing off quadrant to be at the bottom right of the board
instead, if this is possible in gnubg.
