Try using a gold colored reflector as a fill light.

If you were using a camera that allowed it, the solution would be a custom WB in degrees kelvin; the 20D will do this. A little experimentation will show what setting will warm the strobe light to your satisfaction. I don't suppose you can do this with the Kodak though. In RAW it is totally not a problem, you can do it aft5er the fact and batch-process the entire shoot to that WB parameter once you have established it.

If you don't want to use CS2 then lighting gel is the best way.

Check out //www.rosco.com/us/filters/supergel.asp#Colors for example of the huge range of colours on offer.

I my 'previous life' as a TV Cameraman I used the colour correction gels for converting daylight to tungsten to warm up images. 1/4 orange is a good one to try as it can be stacked to offer a stronger effect.

Rear curtain or front curtain, it doesn't matter with a stationary subject. If you strobe with a slow shutter speed, you will also record the ambient light, yes; in this case the modeling lamps. But you'd have to power the strobes WAY down to allow the modelling lamps to have any effect on the overall lighting. I mean, typically, modeling lamps are what, 100 watts? If that... So the strobes are WAY brighter. I don't think this is a practical solution.
