Hi Robbi,
You've no doubt seen Neil's correction (copied below) to my quick fix!  If I'm
right about specular reflections causing the problems, and the D30/550EX can't
go into TTL mode, I can only suggest you try getting your flash off-camera and
using either another 550EX (with main flash turned off) or an ST-E2 to fire it.
If this gives more consistent exposures, then I guess you could probably blame
the specular reflections I've seen on slides.  Don't know where you go then
though!
