To have a good radiosity scene, I normally turn off ambient_light.  In this 
case, I think that is what's getting in the way.

change it to say:
"ambient_light off" for a full radiosity scene

It's possible that this could cause you other problems (if everything goes 
black), but if it's a radiosity scene, even with relatively "weak" 
radiosity, you should be fine.

I hope that helps.  If not, we'll figure it out.
