Damon,

 From your description of the 'pin counting', I wonder if you counted 
correctly - an integrated circuit is numbered counterclockwise around 
the chip starting with pin 1 which is identified with a dot or a bar or 
a tapered edge or some distinguishing characteristic. Pin 8 is on the 
same side of the IC as pin 1, but at the opposite end.
The voltage at U1 pin 8 should be the same as the voltage on the anode 
of D1. If these are both positive voltages, about the only thing that 
could cause a problem like that is if D2 and D3 are installed backwards 
- check the orientation.

73,
