Grounding conductors not present or not connected, and defective or mis-wired GFCI receptacles.
That's the best answer you can hope for with the limited information you have provided.

Is there a chance that they are downstream of the hall bath GFI?

I had did this house 5 weeks ago and the loan officer called me about it 15 min ago. I checked the report and the main panel had breakers that were not rated for the panel and lose breakers as well. I talked to the client a couple min ago and he said that he was going to have an electrican come out when the house was his. I told him that the lender was not going to approve it because the appraser had the gfci not functional on his report; so he is going to have it fixed, Thanks for your help.
