When you take the WB and go to custom in the camera back, it blinks to allow you to shoot a grey card. I usually take the center focus spot and fill it with the grey card. Then save as 1, 2, 3. What you have done is make a new custom white balance in the camera so every preview on the back should have better color than the presets. This will compensate for different color temperatures too. SO when you open in C1 or any other RAW developer, it should be set to your color balance you set when the image was shot.
When you shoot tethered, the file comes into C1 at the preset until you click on a Macbeth card to override it. That is why once you click set white balalnce in the software, the option changes to custom because you have over ridden the preset color temp.
It is a much more accurate way to shoot to a CF card when you use the custom WB function on the camera back. And your RAW files when passed on to some one else will start with that new, more accurate Custom WB.
As you know shooting tethered is a faster way of setting all the balances and settings so when you get back and work on the files you are not starting from scratch and having to do all those steps.

I never new you had to click WB in the back and click custom 1 and it starts to blink then I shoot an image and now it comes in with the profile I wanted. Still I find Photoshop is always like 1/2 stop darker and redder than the C-1 images... but atleast they are closer now...
