Hi 

In my limited experience, different sills in different
directions occur for one of the following reasons:

(#) you have not yet reached the total sill in one or
more directions

(#) you have a skewed distribution and are observing a
proportional effect

(#) you have a discontinuity in your study area and
are crossing it in one or more directions

(#) you are crossing from one population group into
another in your direction of 'maximum variance' (or
other similar non-stationary situations)

(#) you may have a trend

In all of these cases the covariance function is
inappropriate. In most of them, the semi-variogram is
inappropriate.
