Dave, I have the 580ex and as far as I am aware you can't trigger the flash as a slave with the pop up flash. It can only be triggered with another of the same i.e. for the 580 it would be another 580ex which would be on the hot shoe. Hopefully someone will come along to verify this.
When I bought the 580, I thought the same as you that it could be triggered with the pop up. I was told and reading the manual over and over again that I can't.
I eventually went out an extension lead so I could use it off camera.
