We have noticed (and fixed) a few problems in the sample Holonomic Mechanum Cartesian code:

2. The motor comments that specify which motor gets which port has an error which prevents lateral X motion. We switched the wires between port/motor 1 and 3 and now it works fine.

Not sure how this slipped through, I hope this helps other teams (particularly newbies) to get their mechanums working.

Would you please mind sharing an example of your mecanum code? I'm having difficulty fine tuning it myself.
