Like Bill said, you could decrease error_bound to 0.2, but I would increase 
count to 1000 at least. Also pretrace_end should be much lower for better 
results.

I post below the settings I have used for an indoor scene, using 2-pass 
radiosity. Maybe you could try that.

//--- start code ---
    radiosity {
      //saving radiosity data:
      #if (RadSave)
        save_file "DG1.rad"
        pretrace_start 0.1           // start pretrace at this size
        pretrace_end   0.0025           // end pretrace at this size
        always_sample on            // turn sampling in final trace off [on]
        count 1000
        error_bound 0.2
        recursion_limit 2

      //reading radiosity data:
      #else
        load_file "DG1.rad"
        pretrace_start 1
        pretrace_end 1
        always_sample off            // turn sampling in final trace off 
[on]
        count 100
        error_bound 1.8
        recursion_limit 1             // how much interreflections are 
calculated (1..5+) [3]
      #end

      //common settings:
      brightness 1                  // brightness of radiosity effects 
(0..1) [1]
      nearest_count 8               // higher -> higher quality (1..10) [5] 
can go up to 20. little effect on render time higher is better
      adc_bailout 0.005
      low_error_factor 0.8           // reduce error_bound during last 
pretrace step
      minimum_reuse 0.015           // reuse of old radiosity samples 
[0.015]
      gray_threshold 0            // increase for weakening colors (0..1) 
[0]
      normal off                    // take surface normals into account 
[off]
      media off                     // take media into account [off]
      //max_sample 1.0              // maximum brightness of samples
    }
//--- end code ---

good luck! And by the way, you have there a nice image/scene!
