There will always be voltage to the ground wire, this is normal. The reason being is that the ground wire is bonded to the neutral terminal block back at the distribution panel. If you have a voltage reading to ground at the outside fixture with the switch in the on position then you have an open return neutral wire. This wire should be traced back from the light to the distribution panel. Check ever junction box that the circuit goes through and look for a loose or open white neutral wire. Closing the circuit where you find this fault will correct the problem.
