I hate to break it to you, your scatter is not working.  You cannot connect a scatter node to an HVS node, they do not work together.  Notice the dashed connector wires between those two nodes, they're incompatible.  The Scatter node must be connected directly to Alt. Diffuse on the PoserSurface.  Your arrangement should look like this:

        

The Blinn is also broken, same lashed connector leading from it.  Your specular highlights are coming from the white chip above which is too bright for the setup in conjunction with the Alt. Specular.  You cannot use both the Blinn and specular nodes in the same channel.  The Blinn node is selfish, it also needs to be connected directly to the PoserSurface.  

The entire skin shaders really need to be reworked, there are major problems with the arrangement.  I could never run this in Superfly, the renders would be a disaster.  Believe me, I have done my share of problem-solving with this type of layout.
