On thing that might help you debug: Turn off Diffuse_Value and Specular_Value (set them to 0), temporarily. Then  when you render, you'll ONLY be seeing the results from the Gather. You should see a red glow near the sweater.

Hmm If I did this would it decrease rendertime? Probably not but If so Im thinking maybe I could do two renders save them as png's and composite them together in photoshop.
