I have found that a fluorescent light, downstream from a
GFCI receptacle, will trip the GFCI when the fluorescent light
is switched from on to off, presumably due to the decaying field
in the ballast for the light creating an unbalanced current in the
GFCI.  I would disconnect the fluorescent circuity to see if
that is the source of your problem.
