    sounds like you need some extra lights (or flashes) to blow out the background...

    .... if possible, try moving your subject further away from the background ....

    The "white glow" you mentioned, how does this appear in front of them?
    Can you upload an example?
    The two external flash strobes, where do you have these located (in front, behind, to the left/right?).
    It would be ideal if you could draw a simple picture, eg using MS Paint, and upload that as well.

    Sounds like the background is too bright to me.

    Now I am no expert but the way I set things up with high key is to meter the light to the subject at f5.6 for the main light & f2.8 - f4 for the fill light. Then I meter the background at f11. This will give 2 stops over the subject, so the background will be blown but not too bright. Shoot at 1/125th & f5.6.
