Does your Martin have a warranty that covers them (ahem, the tuners)?

From the looks of it, it sounds like your guitars intonation is off and needs a tuneup. If you can't get the guitar in tune using your tuning head, the most common problem is your intonation. You should bring your guitar in to a luthier or guitar store and get them to fix your intonation.

I love it. At work we watch the Blue Collar Comedy Tour quite often simply to laugh AT it, not with it, because some of it is awful. Anyway...

I was also gonna suggest that it is the intonation. If you play the strings open and they are in tune but then when you fret them they're out of tune, you have an intonation problem. Easy to fix, just take it to the guitar guy to fix.
