There's more to setting up the 580exII than just putting it in slave mode. Can you list the steps you used on the ST-E2 and the 580exII to set them?

The most common problem with the ST-E2 is not having it seated well enough in the shoe. Make sure you have it pushed as far forward as it will go and that you have the locking lever in the locked position.

Otherwise, I take it that the S580ex II’s front IR receptor isn’t obscured by anything? And that they are both set to use the same channel – there are four possible channels.
