I guess my previous post wasn't clear enough. I was suggesting connecting only one ROMEX to the line side and then powering up the breaker to see if you have the correct one.
It doesn't hurt anything for the GFCI to be "upstream" so long as the receptacles in wet areas are protected. I'd put it wherever the easiest place to reset it is.
Thanks, I will put it back where it was, which is close to the breaker panel, so that might be the first place in the string and would then protect them all.

What if the ground fault is between the breaker and the GFCI receptacle? Would that explain how mine behaved where it did pop but was still live?
