I tried out the 360 flash on my DS and ran into a hitch. With camera on autopict or program the flash won't fire on p-ttl mode. It also won't show the allowable distance range on the flash scale. The viewfinder gives the exposure for no flash. I have the DS set to factory presets (except no screen graphics). The flash will fire on ttl but not give distance readout. I was doing this with 16-45 lens. Is there something else that needs to be set on camera menu or on flash? I went thru the ib. Also tried on another DS with 18-55. Same deal.
The AF360 can be in TTL mode until it is mounted on a P-TTL compatible camera and turned on, then it senses the camera and goes to P-TTL. However, sometimes in the past when I got TTL and it should have been PTTL it meant that either the batteries were not connected properly (I know, sounds strange, but check the battery compartment cover to make sure it is seated properly and make sure that the batteries are all in proper position), or that the AF360's contact pins were not all making proper contact with the shoe or extension. Beyond that it could be a faulty flash. You have swapped lenses and cameras with the same result, how about swapping flash? Unfortunately that may be your problem.
