That surprises me as in all the years I have been involved with industrial machinery, I have never seen a manufacturer specify or read of a recommended practice to ground both ends of a shielded cable, because of ground loops.
Co-incidentally, if you go to the link I showed above, he has just cured his problem, which could easily been caused by shields grounded at both ends or at least, would have aggravated the situation.
