Thanks, all, for your replies. I'm starting to think that me and x-ray film just don't get along very well.
@Andrew - I've tried single sheet tray processing with regular 8x10 film when using staining developers--mostly ABC Pyro--and I've never been satisfied with the results; basically, uneven development was the primary issue. And, I rocked the tray for 12 out of every 15 secs moving counter-clockwise around the tray on each corner. Therefore, it was pretty much continuous agitation. Still...not great. Using the shuffle method--4 to 6 sheets in stack--provides much better results. But, I can't see even trying that technique with double-sided x-ray film; I'm guessing I'd have a lot of scratches no matter the method of handling the stack.
