Hi,
Rich- You said: "to provide separate circuits for outlets in each bathroom"
The nec only requires that a bathroom outlet be on a 20A breaker..AND/OR that it MAY supplly no other outlet except another recept in another bath.
I can use ONE 20A circuit to provide that outlet in more than ONE bathroom.
myself i usually will only go for two baths and not ALL!
As far as the gfi tripping..first turn off the MAIN..
then just take those gfi outlets and replace them with a gfi breaker...way better than a gfi outlet and all you have to do is swap the breaker..just make sure the neutral from the load side goes to the breaker and not the ground or neut bus..take the pig tail from the breaker and land that on the neut/gnd bus..
turn the power back on and locate each outlet that the circuit feeds..then turn the power off again..
tear it all apart and make sure that you have the correct wiring.
once you do that if you still cant find the problem abandon that circuit and install a new one between the two places where you cant get it to clear.
my guess is that somewhere in the system the neutral is making contact with something that is grounded..could be a metal box, yolk, or just plian miswired.
I hope you find it!
good luck
-regards
greg
