Moving light with an Absolute Effect to follow a path does not work right in a cue on Element?

Question

I recorded Focus Palettes at four different points in the path I want the light to move through and created a 4 step Absolute effect and set its cycle to 1 with a 32 second cycle time. When I run the effect manually, it executes perfectly and the light moves through the path slowly over 32 seconds and stops at the end but when I put it in a cue, the effect does not start for several seconds and after it does start, it moves through the fine except that it goes beyond the last place it is supposed to stop. Any idea why the cue is behaving differently from manual? Where would I look for problems? Thanks!

Thank you both for your help. I figured out the problem. In the effect, I needed the lights to move slowly so I increased the cycle time to 32 seconds and did not realize that it splits that time between the 4 steps so my first step had 8 seonds and because the light was already at the initial position, it just stayed there for 8 seconds. I correcred it by changing the time for the very first action to 0 seconds and leaving 10 seonds for the remaining actions and now my light starts immediately the Cue is fired. For the exit, the light was supposed to stop at a different location and after the effect was finished, the light was trying to go back to its original location. Setting the exit time to 0 took care of that. 
 
Thanks again for the great tips.
