Losing Fixtures (homing up)

I just setup a show with the new software 3.0.0 and as I was wringing out the system I noticed that I would have to grab and shake some fixtures before they would "Home" down. At one point I went away for about an hour and when I came back about half the rig was homed up again. The units immediatly find themselves if either pan or tilt is touched. Is this some kind of DMX hickup I am getting with the new software? Nothing else on this system has changed so I am not sure what else this could be.

I am using a Whole Hog III with Playback Wing and 2 External Monitors and a DP 2000 with the following fixtures patched;
12 Mac 2k Profiles
12 Mac 2k Washes
12 575 Studio Spots
12 575 Studio Colors

This problem is not isolated to any one type of fixture. I am routed through an Iso Splitter on each of the three moving light universes in the DP 2000 but I have never had this problem with this system before. Any suggestions?

    I had another LD come through our theater with his own WholehogIII and he had experienced similiar problems. Once I hooked up my console to his rig he had several fixtures that were acting like they didn't have DMX but would respond and go to the correct position once I grabbed them.

    Before grabbing the units there is nothing listed in the output window since I don't have the fixtures captured. Once I give them a pan or tilt command the percentages show normally and the unit responds as expected.
