Lots goin’ on here so first things first. The DSK is the top layer above the background and the upstream keyers, background is the bottom layer hence “background”.
I don’t believe that a USK can be tied. The function of the tie is to allow the background and/or key layers to trans with the DSK. The USK are “tied” when the bus is selected for trans. There is no DSK bus select so it uses the tie function to achieve the same result.
To switch to cam 2 clean from Cam1/USK/DSK select BG, Key1, Tie1 then cut/auto/tbar. The trans will switch the BG, cam 2, clean. What you’re likely missing is that you don’t “Tie” a USK, both the BG and Key1 must be selected prior to the trans. The DSK is really intended for a bug or ID so all the switching happens underneath. If this doesn’t make sense or I’ve misunderstood please clarify.
Good Luck
