However, I connected the curly
white pigtail on the GF breaker to the other white wire (neutral?) going
to
the house, with a wire nut.
Thanks for any input

Your mistake is evident (to a pro) with the aforementioned statement!!!!!
The "curly pigtail on the GFCI circuit breaker" should be terminated on the
neutral bar of the circuit breaker panel where you have "originated" the
branch circuit at!! The hot wire (black) AND the neutral wire (white) that
are in your home run romex (conduit, MC cable or whatever) that leaves the
panel, are BOTH to be terminated on their individual terminals on the GFCI
circuit breaker, itself. If you look at the product literature that comes
with every GFCI circuit breaker OR GFCI receptacle, it will become clear as
you read thru it and look at the illustrations.
