Clive when I had this problem I found that the pop up was giving off to much forward light. What I did to get the lighting right was to put a cover which is masked on one side over the pop up this masked the light going forward and sent the light backwards, it was the only way to get it to trigger the slave. I would think that is the same problem you are having when using the pop up for triggering, its giving you false lighting.
