River tool

Hello everyone,

So I have ran into a problem with the river tool. I am trying to create a small creet flowing from a mountain into a bigger river. I want the river to base its elevation from the terrain. I have drawn it along a path where it more or less could flow without having to cut through too many big hills. (Screen shot 1, note that i have locked the view on the checkpoint before the river tool so that you can see the original terrain) when I apply the settings I want (screenshot 2) it creates almost something like a talud (probs the wrong word for it) or something. (screenshot 3) Screenshot 4 shows the original terrain.

The weard thing is that it at first worked just fine. When I started work on the bigger river it got screwed up. With the connection of the two in mind i decided to remove the small river and make the big one first. After then building the small one again using the same setup as before I get the results as shown in the screenshots.

Am I doing anything obviously wrong or is it perhaps a known issue? Some help or suggestions would be great.
