Well, you could just kill any particles that get inside the object...I 
plan to have this as an option for my particle simulation (though it 
will be implemented as "killspaces" which remove any particle that 
enters them).
It would be better to just write your collision algorithm to make sure 
that the particle won't be on the other side of the surface after being 
updated...if you have done this, I don't know what the problem is.
