Changing GameObject Position with Unity and ARToolkit

Question

I'm building an Augmented Reality app with Unity and ARToolkit for Android. I have multiple GameObjects on screen that are children of my marker. Works well. I then created a very simple script to move one of the objects and I attached the script to the game object. It looks like:

void Update()
{
    Vector3 currentPos = transform.position;
    transform.position = new Vector3(currentPos.x + (.01f * xDirection * xSpeed), currentPos.y + (.01f * yDirection * ySpeed), currentPos.z);
}

The rest of the script does nothing other than alter the value of the direction and speed variables. It works and goes in the directions that I expect, however the object shrinks in size visually. Possible it's just lower on the z axis so it appears smaller, or possible scaling is getting affected. I think it may be related to the movement of the phone up and down while looking at the marker.

I suppose I have to move GameObjects in a different manner than normal when using ARToolkit. What's the proper way?

Thanks

I've no connection with ARToolkit by try checking out their Coordinate System
