I am trying to connect two bmp085 pressure sensors on a i2c bus. I've attached the XCLR lines of each to digital out pins so that I can silence one sensor by setting its XCLR to low, while the other sensor's XCLR is high, in order to alternate reading each sensor.
The problem is that when I do this my sensors give readings of temperature and pressure that are way too high. From prodding at this on my own for a fair amount of time I've found out this:
Either sensor works fine when used alone and the XCLR is left floating,
If both sensors are hooked up but no switching is done between them so that one is always silent and the other is always reading, the temperature is correct but the pressure is too high.
If both sensors are hooked up and readings switch between the two, both temperature and pressure are too high.
My code came from the BMP085 setup help on Sparkfun, modified to do switching.

Keep in mind, I'm pretty new to Arduino. Does anyone know what might be my problem?
