Tax question

I am setting up an exempt commodity pool structured as an LP with my
management company as the sole GP as well as the trading advisor. I lieu of
cash out of the pool to the management company for incentive / management
fees, which would be ordinary income to the management company and a
deductable expense to the pool participants, I would like to have the GP
compensated via an allocation of pool profits which in the case of 1256
contracts would receive the favorable 60/40 tax treatement.

The accountant I am using to help set this all up says this would not be
allowed under IRS rules. Can any accountant out there be of assistance to
me?
