The discs have to be hollow. Discs are much like planes and divide the 
universe in two halfs: one half above and one half below the disc. I 
think even the source-code is similiar to that of the plane, it's just a 
limited version of the plane.
And if that doesn't help, try raising the max_trace_level in the 
global_settings.
