Same thing for me.  I tried and failed at it.  I had used the 'media'
keyword inside the photon block and did everything I could think of.  No
reflected light in the media, only on the walls, etc.  Could still be a
number problem, as in lack of enough sampling and such.  That and the fact
I've used a cylindrical spotlight, although trying with a regular spotlight
or point light source I hadn't had any luck seeing reflected light in the
media either.
