That sounds TOTALLY wrong.  I flunked out of EE and am not a licensed 
electrician.  But AFAIK, the neutral and ground should be "bonded" at 
ONE point and ONE POINT ONLY.  A subpanel should have a separate neutral 
and ground wire run to it, and the bonding bar between the the two in 
the box should be removed, to create an "isolated ground" whereas a main 
entrance panel has the two connected.
