If it is the 400D that you used for your last couple of shots, I think the max synch speed is 1/200th, so it seems to be working properly.
"The Rebel XTi/400D has a top shutter speed of 1/4,000 and a standard top flash sync speed of 1/200 (plus full TTL flash at up to 1/8000 with a compatible EX-series Speedlite set to High Speed Sync; the built-in popup flash is also capable of High Speed Sync operation). It's not possible to cheat the flash sync well above the standard top flash sync speed with non-dedicated strobes."
so have you got it working now then ???
Moist studio work I do is at 125th or 160th - what are you looking at shooting

The max flash shutter speed (which will be in your camera manual) is the max speed that will safely work with a dedicated hotshoe flashgun.
Generally, it's much safer to synch studio flash heads at least 1 click lower, and often when used with cheap radio triggers it needs to be much lower than that.
And why do you need a fast shutter speed in the studio anyway? The shutter speed has no measurable effect on the exposure, at any normal shutter speed under normal studio conditions.
