Pardon me, but are you doing PCB layout or creating jewelry?
50 mils of gold plating??? Most of us are quite happy with a few atomic
thicknesses (gold is, for the most part, an anti-corrosion
coating)...However, if you REALLY have 50mil thick tracks, then I can see
why you're having trouble

I used HMP solder once and it seemed to have either no flux in it or the flux
burnt off very fast due to the high temps. You could try using extra flux. The
other problem is soldering to gold plating. The solder reacts
I am wondering why the need for the high temp solder? A specified
requirement? Since gold solders quite easily I can't picture the need for
the special solder.
It could be the new lead-free solders. All of these I have heard of have
higher melting points than lead-tin.
Lead is THE best

You also need to consider your thermal releifs in the inner planes as this
can play havoc with your solderability.
