It may be that you have the editor set to use the object centre instead of the object pivot in the "transform gizmo toggles" setting of the editor.

Look to the right of the four main control buttons (pan, move, rotate, scale), and you'll see two other buttons:

alt text Unity's Transform Gizmo Toggles

The first toggles between "Center" or "Pivot", and the second toggles between "Local" or "Global".

In your case, the first button probably says "Center". Change it to "Pivot" and unity will use the object's pivot point rather than its bounds centre.

For more information, you can read about the basics of Unity's Interface here.
