It's a 200' cable and the buildings each have their own connection to the power company. I suspect that the earth potential of the two buildings is quite different - I just have not figured out a way to measure it yet and not sure if there's anything I can do to fix it even if I do confirm it.

That shouldn't be a problem unless you're using grounded shielded cable, in which case you should make sure the shield ground is only connected at one end.
