Please make sure that you have all your AC appliances unplugged when you
are checking...

I had all circuit breakers off.

That is not enough - it removes the hot side connection, but the neutral
and ground connections remain. If the appliance has a leakage path
between neutral and ground, opening the breaker will not change
anything. Unplug everything.
