Bryan, take your time to read this page (now, that you have problems with the generated g-code), is a must.

Considering that you like to work directly in a PCB Layout program (I guess some day you will make a mistake and you will start to appreciate also a schematic editor for all the nets it provide), maybe gEDA PCB is perfect for you.

The "buildyourcnc.com" guy recommends Eagle and a plugin for routing your pcbs
