RGB to CMYK to CMYK - what is wrong with my profile?

I have recently created a new press profile using ProfileMaker 5.08. I am getting very good results as far as the proofer matching the press sheets used to build the profile. My problem is with the RGB to CMYK conversions. Converting in Photoshop from Adobe RGB 1998 to my profile, I get poor results in the out of gamut blues and violets. But if I first convert from Adobe RGB 1998 to Gracol 2006 Coated v2, and then to my profile, the results are pretty good.

Here are the Lab numbers:

RGB   92  -12  -7

Convert RGB to my profile  77  -23  -7

Convert RGB to Gracol  87  -12  -7

Convert RGB to Graco to my profile  84  -12  -7

I am a little lost as to how to correct this. Are there certain settings in ProfileMaker, such as gamut mapping or optical brightner, that would improve my profile?
