Edit: what ISO are you using? I've seen Joe McNally accidentally try to shoot with strobes at 1600 ... it didn't go well. I've done the exact same thing myself. It happens to the best of us.
Did this while on vacation. Spent the evening shooting at f/2 and 800iso, then threw my SB onto the camera and kept going... things were almost straight white! Stopping it down and dropping the ISO to 100 fixed it perfectly.
