Your head bone layer must be inside your body bone layer, then you must bind the head layer to a single bone of the body bone layer.
whoop whoop

Bind the switch layer to a bone via Layer Binding.
(Please don't use capitals in bold for posting, it only hurts our eyes.)

... Oh, that's better.
Just to be clear, you need these layers to be withing the bone layer. Not just underneath in the Layers window. It has to be inside the bone layer, it will appear indented and when you contract the bone layer, the sub layers won't be shown.
