Speedlight radio trigger problems.?

I bought 3 Cactus V5s recently to go along with my Nikon SB-600 and SB-700.

I'm shooting a wedding soon, and here's my setup plan for the reception- I'm going to have my SB-600 on a light stand with a V5 on one of the corners of the dance floor… then I'm going to have a V5 on my Nikon d300s and my SB-700 on top of that with a lightsphere.

Here's the problems I'm experiencing:

1: Sometimes both of the speedlights won't fire..If I press the button on the V5 they both will fire, but not when pressing the shutter release button.if I remove the V5 from my camera and reattach it usually that's an immediate fix.

2: Also, sometimes my SB-600 will fire, when pressing either the shutter release, or the V5 button, but my SB-700 won't.It seems like turning both speedlights off, and turning them back on starting with the SB-700 fixes that.

These are really annoying issues. The reason I bought radio triggers was so that I didn't have to deal with flashes not firing. Does anybody know the cause of this and how it can be prevented?

Thanks a lot!: )
