Skeletal animation problem

I''m writing my own skeletal animation class and im having some problems, If i update the bones and the vertices without rotating the bones everything is fine. But when I rotate the bones they seem to still be rotating about the origin instead of their location. I am exporting from milkshape so the rotation frames i believe are in radians, and the bone positions relative to the parent (am i mistaken?). After I load the bones I set up their inverse translate and translate matrices:

	int idd;

	for (i = 0; i < bonecount; i ++)
	{
		bones[i].invabs->SetTranslateInverse(bones[i].pos);
		bones[i].abs->SetTranslate(bones[i].pos);

		idd = bones[i].parent;

		while(idd != -1)
		{
			bones[i].invabs->MultiplyTranslateInverse(bones[idd].pos);
			bones[i].abs->MultiplyTranslate(bones[idd].pos);
			idd = bones[idd].parent;
		}
	}

When I update the bones I use this recursive function

void cModel::DoBone(cMatrix *mat, int bone)
{

	mat->Multiply(mat, bones[bone].invabs, mat);
	
	if (bones[bone].numrframes > 0)
	{
		mat->MultiplyRotateAxis(bones[bone].rframes[0].vals[2], 0,0,1);
		mat->MultiplyRotateAxis(bones[bone].rframes[0].vals[1], 0,1,0);
		mat->MultiplyRotateAxis(bones[bone].rframes[0].vals[0], 1,0,0);
	}

	mat->Multiply(mat, bones[bone].abs, mat);
	


	if (bones[bone].parent != -1)
		DoBone(mat, bones[bone].parent);
}

void cModel::Update()
{
	long i;

	cMatrix *mat = new cMatrix();

	idd+=.5;
	for(i = 0; i < bonecount; i++)
	{
		if (i == ballbone) continue;
		mat->SetIdentity();
		DoBone(mat, i);
		bones[i].mat->SetValues(mat->GetValues());
	}

	delete mat;

	for(i = 0; i < vertcount; i++)
	{
		bones[verts[i].bone].mat->MultiplyVertex(verts[i].xyz, vertout[i].xyz);
	}
}

If i comment out the 3 rotation lines everything appears fine. Also my rotation functions take degrees so after I load in the bone rotation frames I do this.

    for (int d = 0; d< 3;d++)
	bones[i].rframes[j].vals[d] = bones[i].rframes[j].vals[d] * 180 /3.14;

I think that the bone postitions are relative since that would make sense if i''m only translating down to the parent not to the origin before i rotate. Any suggestions?
