oh wow! I did not know that, I did not know you had to hold the remote button half way down then press like on the camera, I guess it makes sense, haha... I'll have to remember that.

When using a remote, don't forget that you still have to use a half-press, just like you would on the camera shutter button, to set the autofocus and metering, before taking the shot. You may want to set the camera to use a single autofocus point out the matrix just so that you know where it's going to be aiming when you autofocus.
Using a smaller aperture (f/8-f/16) will give you more depth of field. Since you've got a flash working for you, this should be possible, even at lower ISO. You may also want to shove the ISO down to 100 to reduce noise, and up the shutter speed to at least your max sync speed (probably 1/200s) to make sure that motion blur isn't causing a problem. All the underexposure of the ambient probably isn't going to cause a problem since you're going for a black background, anyway.
Are you using an external flash unit? Or the built-in flash?
