Unable to set up flares up on different layers

Hi, I have a scene with two cameras in it one for rendering the background and one for rendering everything else, I also have a layer called background, and lastly I have two sun flairs set up, now the sun flairs are added to the background layer, but for some odd reason they are rendered by the main camera only, not by the background camera.

the background camera has culling set to background and clear flags set to skybox
while the "main" camera is set to culling everything but the background and clear flags are set to depth only, its my first time working with flairs and with multiple cameras, but I have a few planets and nebulas set up the same way as the flairs, and they work flawlessly. any help would be greatly appreciated =)

 

Can anyone enlighten me on what Ì'm doing wrong? =)

 

apparently not... this is truely annoying... =(
cant get it to work myself either
