leak problem with threaded connections

In a shower rough-in, I'm testing and getting drips at some threaded connections that I can't seem to solve.

I'm using 3/4 CPVC male adaptors into the volume control valves (Rohl), along with Rectorseal T plus 2 (I also tried 4 or 5 wraps of teflon tape). I've tried both the fully CPVC ones, and the ones that are brass/cpvc combo. I am cranking them in there nice and tight with two wrenches, then gluing it all together...and wham...another @$#% drip. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks much.
