Chris,

One thing to remember when synchronizing multiple boards is that you
want to have a start trigger in addition to routing the sample clock
over the RTSI bus (examples are available in the Example Code Library
[http://www.ni.com/devzone/dev_exchange/ex_search.htm] and the NI
Example Finder).  Here are two examples (the first uses Traditional
NI-DAQ and the second NI-DAQmx):

1.

2.  From inside LabVIEW go to Help > Find Examples to bring up the NI
Example Finder.  Inside the NI Example Finder browse to Hardware Input
and Output > DAQmx > Synchronization > Multi-Device > Multi-Device
Synch - Shared Timebase & Ext Dig Trigger.vi

Also realize that these aren't simultaneously sampling boards (S
Series), so each channel sample on an individual board will be
separated by a small interchannel delay.  Depending on whether you are
working Traditional NI-DAQ or NI-DAQmx
(http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/42484E84DA98053686256D32006E0494?OpenDocument)
this interchannel delay is different.
