I posted my scene file in Scene-files.  I just can't seem to get my 
scene to have photons, no matter how much I make it like the demo 
photons file.

What am I missing?

Try adding the "target" keyword to your cross and ruby torus.

I don't see any target! An object photon block without target is only usefull to 
set collect off or pass_through on.

     I added 'target 1' and it looks good to me but could probably do with a 
little adjusting somewhere (imo). How would Bryan's file need adjusting to 
make it better?
