Could be the dirty ball valves that caused it. I have read of that happening before. Guys going through all this cleaning of everything else first only to find the ball valve on their kettle or whatever is full of ****. Clean that out and all of a sudden no infections anymore.
I only have an urn so just the one valve but I dismantle it and soak it every 4-5 batches to prevent buildup. Most times I take it apart it's pretty clean from the boiling water I run through it after every brew day but I still like to soak the innards in proper cleaner just to be sure.
 
And go back to the cheap-*** bottling wand - easier to clean/sanitize and you can replace it every so often at little cost.
