The problem is that kgs saves handicap stones as black moves (B), instead of setup stones (AB), when playing with Chinese rules. The sgf specification says that they should be setup stones. Gogui correctly sends a set_free_handicap command to your engine if setup stones are indicated instead of black moves.
A solution is to edit the sgf files of KGS to properly use the AB property instead of B moves for handicap stones. Maybe gogui could be modified to consider the first B moves as handicap stones when the HA property is set with Chinese rules, and there is no setup stones. The best would be that wms fixes the sgf of KGS, of course.
