Mounted objects behaving differently in show tool and torque

Hi all,

I'm having a bit of trouble with some mounted objects in Torque. I modelled a character and a sword and shield. When mounting the sword and shield on the character in Show Tool Pro, it looks and animates as it should do. So, thinking that everything is fine I placed these in game only to find that the sword and shield do not mount correctly in game.

Here is the character in Show Tool Pro:


And here it is in Torque:


I did some searches but it doesn't seem like I can add an offset on mounted objects. What could possible be wrong?

Here is the code used to place the character in game:

Character code

//Helmut Player

exec("~/data/shapes/helmut/helmut.cs");

datablock PlayerData(PlayerBody)
{
   className="HelmutPlayer";
   emap=false;
   shapeFile="~/data/shapes/helmut/helmut.dts";
   destroyedLevel=100;  //Health = 100
   disabledLevel=200;   //Disable disabling :D
   
   cameraDefaultFOV=90;
   cameraMaxDist=10;
   cameraMinDist=5;
   observeThroughObject=true;
   useEyePoint=true;
   
   renderFirstPerson=true;
   maxStepHeight=0.5;
   horizMaxSpeed=10;
   runForce=100;
   maxForwardSpeed=10;
};

function HelmutPlayer::onAdd(%this,%obj)
{
   //When the player is added, we want to mount the sword to his right hand
   //and the shield to his left
   %sword=new StaticShape(){
      datablock=Sword;
   };
   
   %shield=new StaticShape(){
      datablock=Shield;
   };
   
   //Mount the sword onto Helmut
   %obj.mountObject(%sword,0);
   %obj.mountObject(%shield,1);
   
   MissionCleanup.add(%sword);
   MissionCleanup.add(%shield);
}

The sword

//sword.cs

datablock StaticShapeData(Sword)
{
   shapeFile="./sword.dts";
   isInvincible=true;
   
};

and the shield

//shield.cs

datablock StaticShapeData(Shield)
{
   shapeFile="./shield.dts";
};

Not only that, but the eye and cam nodes don't seem to be working in Torque - when in 1st person, the camera is inside the character model and in 3rd person I think that's it's a fair distance directly above the model.
