Re-check your wiring, pay special attention to your Neutral wire. You might trim the ends of your wires, potential problems with the exposed bare wires.

If you look at the picture you can see that the neutral wire coming from the spa is not hooked up to the breaker. It is hooked up to the neutral bar. Also from seeing this picture you didn't have this inspected! There is no way you should be running the power using that cable, looks like 6/3 MN, which is for indoor use only. Plus it is routed through the panel without a connector. In my opinion this looks like an accident waiting to happen.
