Do you have any light outside that room? It may be that when you shoot photons, some
of them only 
hit one transparent surface when entering the room. Another possible cause would be
that your boxes 
meet exactly corner to corner, try enlarging the boxes so that they overlap somewhat.
You may also use a single box with the hollow modifier.
Those are shoots in the dark, as I don't have your scene.
