X-T1 Flash Not Syncing...any ideas?

Hey all, having trouble with my X-T1 and off camera flash. Flash units are firing using various triggers but the camera is not capturing the exposures...they are as if flash didn't fire. The same holds true even when using the Fuji flash that comes with the camera in TTL or M mode. Flash fires but images are dark. I'm using manual shutter speeds within the sync speed of 1/180sec or less and fixed aperture.

Flash and triggers worked on my X-Pro1 (sold) perfectly and with my x100s.

I'm using latest firmware, single frame, manual shutter and silent mode is off.

I suspect there is a problem in the circuitry between the cameras flash shoe and the shutter where the flash is either firing early or after the shutter closes. Or there is an obscure menu setting that is off. The manual is of no help.

This is the first I've tried using flash with this camera. Has anyone seen this or have any ideas?

Thanks
