Are the lense set as target with refraction on? I assume yes.

What is your max_trace_level? Try setting it to a larger value.
A doublet mean that you have 4 surfaces. If your beam have already crossed 1 
surface, or been reflected, you just reached the default value of 5, it just 
can't go further.
Count each transparent object you encounter, multiply by 2. Add any reflective 
surfaces encountered. Add 1 for the final target surface.
Set max_trace_level to that value, or more.
