you need to use the positionmesh command to move the mesh to it's pivot. I think that Ross C's suggestion should work.
Look at this chunk of code:
notice how the cube does not rotate around it's center. The positionMESH command moves the mesh but not the pivot. To fix a mis-aligned pivot, you should be able to:
1. position mesh at 0,0,0 (This will put the pivot at 0,0,0)
2. use fitmesh to place the mesh around the 0,0,0, coordinates
3. now use positionmesh to put the object back where it was, except now the pivot should be correct.
