Did you hot start the HPS bulb at all?
I am guessing that it is a bad bulb if it still fires the MH. Have you tried a different HPS bulb than the one you bought originally as well?
Hot starts will ruin a bulb. If you stop power to the ballast, then power it back up while the bulb is still hot, it can burn them bulbs up fast. Also like car headlight capsuls, never touch the glass on your bulb, get some cotton gloves or the like.

How long did the cleaning of the grow room take before you refired the light?
