yep tried that already!!! with them all green still only the lower left 
sphere?!? with them all red same thing .... lower left. i tried killing 
the point light and the emission from the hdr dome... same deal. i 
started getting results by jacking up the pigment component... red 
channel, blue channel etc... makes me think radiosity is the issue. i'm 
using defaults except the following:

gray_threshold 0
brightness 1
media on
normal on
count 1024
