Thank to everyone who answered my question about this yesterday. Once I set the tool diameters to zero in EMC, the gcode from Synergy ran correctly without any modification (though I did need to scale the feed rate down to 20%; that's a different story).
So far I am really impressed with Synergy and I've actually just bought the 3D solid version. Its not easy to learn, but I think that's in part because I am not familiar with any 3D package really.
