Okay, take this object for instance:

object{dodecaWire_p1_
  pigment{rgb 1}
  finish{diffuse .25,.75}
  interior{
   media{absorption<.25,.5,1>*15}
  }
  hollow
}

Render that and you have no SSS effect, you only get backside 
illumination effects. You might as well have not even given that object 
media.

An object's media (or interior fading) will not cast shadows onto the 
object itself.
