Evidently, your latest reply came as I was posting mine. I’m trying to visualize your circuit path, but I’m a little slow and still trying to understand your issue. Normally, a black (power) wire exposed to ground would trip a breaker and possibly a GFCI. It seems the issue, as you eluded to, is the storage shed leg of the circuit. Since it seems quite a bit of rewiring has gone on, ensure all the connections are properly wired; black to black, white to white and so on.
