This should not be happening... first, is the duplicator set up properly?

Did you center the head and tail stock with the cutter?Did you set the height of the cutter? is everything tight? Is the work piece securely held between the headstock and the tail stock? If the answer is yes, you need to check the run out of the headstock and or the tail stock, if all is well with the duplicator and it is set up correctly, there has to be movement somewhere, and that movement would have to come from your lathe itself... double check everything.
