I think the inspector is thinking that your shop panel will be a
sub-panel fed off a breaker in your home's main panel. In that case,
around here local codes would require that the shop's panel have
neutral and ground *not* connected to each other, *no* ground rods be
installed at the shop, and the shop's ground be connected to the
house's ground bus. That would explain the demand for four-wire cable.
(For some reason, all that changes if the outbuilding houses livestock.
I understand why special precautions need to be taken for livestock; I
don't understand why electrical safety best-practices would be
different.)
