 > Is FSIN going to some other stack??

Chris, it sure looks like FSIN is using a floating point stack instead of the
parameter stack.  I would suspect that you need to "push" the input parameter
onto the floating point stack before you call FSIN and "pop" the result back
off before you can use it in your DACA word.  What Forth are you using? 
Someone may be able to tell you how to make it work if we knew which one. 
Otherwise, check your documentation to see what they say about the floating
point operators.
