Convective cooling may prove difficult so you may want to consider a type 
of conductive cooling.  A couple of years ago I came across liquid heat 
sinks being used in a design such as yours.
     
These were bags of a special liquid - (Flourinert I think) - from 3M Corp. 
I don't have any product info. so I am not sure about its thermal 
properties.  The bags of liquid are sandwiched between boards and conduct 
the heat away from any hot-spots.   
     
This may seem a little off the wall, but it may be a solution depending on 
your particular situation.
     
Hope this helps
