You should not need to connect the 5v from the CSMIO to your encoder as it will be getting supplied from the drive already. You will be using the buffered (or possibly un-buffered) encoder outputs from the drive to connect to the CSMIO.
You should be able to go into Mach and then into the CSMIO plugin and then into the axis tuning. With the reset still flashing in Mach you should then be able to rotate the motor manually and you should see the encoder count increasing or decreasing in the plugin tuning page.
If you do see the encoder count moving then what I would suggest is you choose the Invert box on the axis page to invert the encoder signals, see if that helps as it could be it is reading the encoder the wrong direction and thus it sees the motor moving the wrong direction and increases the voltage to try and correct.
Let me know how you get on, will check back tomorrow and see.
