I have 2 of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
i had just 1 of these running 4 screens until yesterday when i bought another card to run my other 2 monitors since my other computer died. I disabled the cross fire in the catalyst control center, and yes all 6 screens are connected 4 to my main card and 2 my new card.
Every time i extend the 6th screen it only gives my the option to expand to it but it needs to disable another screen. so i have had the 6th screen working but missing 1 of the other 5 if that makes sense.

If you want to use eyefinity to extend across 6 desktops you will need to hook them up to the first card using a Display Port Hub. That's the only way to do it as far as I know. Likely what's happening is your drivers are letting you use eyefinity on your main card and treating your second as a single display. I'd say just contact AMD directly and see if they can help you out at all.
