Very strange, now its working fine. I went back and removed the output assignment (using the wizard) then re-added them. I also manually inverted 5-8, then manually un-inverted them in the diagnostic screen. This also involved a couple of power cycles and software re-starts. Works now.
Thanks guys ...

Thanks for the suggestion. If all else fails, I might give this a try. Question: how did you diagnose the direction signal as the problem?
Below is an updated link to my Google Photo album. Hopefully this one works.
