A day ago i started working on an engine or "test level" for the game im starting to work on. I was going to make it an advanced scrolling mechanism. With the Actual Camera And the fake camera. I Set the fake cameras position on the player and i set the x postion to X( "Actual Camera" )+X( "Fake Camera" )-X( "Actual Camera" )*0.09

Looks like a job for Order of Operations Man!
Give this a go:
X( "Actual Camera" )+ ((X( "Fake Camera" )-X( "Actual Camera" ))*0.09)
Parentheses are lovely. Hope that's right.
What it's doing right now is first multiplying the current X position of the camera by a small number. We'll call that A. So it's doing: (Current Camera X) + (Fake Camera X) - (A, some tiny number). Putting in parentheses to force it to find the distance between the cameras first should make it work...

Always remember BODMAS.
Brackets Out Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction. I hope this applies to MMF too.
Always wondered in programming C etc what the precedence is for shifts is for example, hence I tend to go brackets crazy to ensure I get the answer I wish 
Note here is the answer for C programming http://www.difranco.net/cop2220/op-prec.htm google is my friend

Or if you're from the US, Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction)
