In NLA why does repeat send a bone forward

I am trying to decypher the mancandy_matching.blend file from
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Walk_Cycle_Modifiers.821.0.html
In the NLA the ammount of bars seems to control the foward motion of the root bone and there fore the postion ef the walk…

To say the least I am still a bit confused of the new setup work flow inside it…
Please help :o
