Question off camera repeating flash

Using an sb28, it has an option for repeating flash..
IE 3 flashes at X intervals apart blah blah

I can get the flash to fire when hand held and pressing the “test fire” button.. *blip* *blip* *blip* it fires no problem and at the speed I want.

When it comes to triggering the damn thing off-camera.. it just doesn’t fire.
i cant reall if it fired one blip.. or ot at all.. but it certainly didnt fire all three "blips" i was looking for.

It fires in straight manual mode all the time, every time.
Just not in repeating

Is this a function of the trigger not holding the voltage long enough or something?

it would be nice to play with bouncing balls and moving things..
i came upon this when i wanted to do a self portrait for me tossing a grape (or similar) and catching it in my mouth... but alas.. i'm posting here.

(Cactus V4 + D80 + SB28 or SB24)
