Is anyone else having problems controlling their rigs via ethmon with v8.0?

For my farm, v8.0 seems to have broken the communications between my miners and ethmon.  Everything is in read-only mode, even when I specify the correct -mport settings.  I have checked all firewall settings, including application-specific settings, and everything is normal.  I've even disabled the firewall to see if that was the issue.  Still doesn't work.  I can see stats on ethmon, but I can't tell ethmon to restart my rig.  It is very important I have control via ethmon, as I have over 40 rigs.  Whats going on?
