Strange error with hardware picking in directx

Question

i am trying to get pickigng working in directx 9 and i am having some trouble. it works fine when i am rendering my mesh in software however i do get errors when rendering with a shader. i can be off of a mesh but it still detects it as a hit (see image for more detail)

i am stopping animation controllers and updating frame matrices but still no joy with the picking.
