To Gary Allen, We have panelized some of our boards also and use the PCAD software with no problems. We use the same method as stated by John Burton, so I don't think it is a problem with the software. We do however discuss what we want with our board vendor so as to optimize the panel for our assembly process. Not knowing how you specify your step and repeat drawing I'd guess right off that's where your problem is. Check with your people who are doing the panel routing to get their inputs as to the problem they're having. Also discuss with the board vendor the problems you are having, they usually do this for more than one company and may have a process better than the one you are specifying on your drawing. Communication is what it will take to fix your problem.
