this might be consistant with 1 things I can imagine - 1. a high
resistance, 
or 2 you are not measuring what you think you are.  Maybe the sphere
isn't 
acting like a capacitor when you measure voltage on it??? if it's really 
electrostatic, can't it take time for the charge to migrate around the
surface 
- particularly if there is some other kind of field in the region???
anyway, 
just a thought or two.

It amazes me that the voltage recorded on a given sphere
leaps
instantly to a huge negative value while the accumulated coulombic
charge
slowly rises to some positive value.
