That gasket should last damn near for an eternity. Most likely the surfaces are not smooth, flat and parallel, or grossly unevenly tightened. If the ceramic coating was done recently, warpage of the manifolds would be high on the list of reasons.

Did you assemble the manifolds as a unit assembly and then install on the block?
