With a mesh, you sometimes see shadowing aretefacts where areas that 
look as if they should be illuminated been actualy unlit. The reverse 
may, albey more rarely, appen : Areas that "should" be unlit may actualy 
receive light.

Try scalling your model up by 10, and reduce mm_per_unit to 4 to 
compensate, and see what appen. It may be due to some floating point 
rounding errors.

Depending on the source, an Elf may be as short as about 2' or less, all 
the way to about 12' tall.

Search a bit and you may find Elfes in the 10-12' range...
