Judging by the images posted above I would say scatter is definitely active, too much actually but that a subjective thing. There's a lot of blue happening in the hands etc. And the SSS translucency is clear as day. If this is the same shader in use, as OP states, I think you may want to re-evaluate your diagnosis hborre. Additionally I believe that the dashed lines to connectors indicate Superfly incompatibility... as this is a Firefly render I'm pretty certain the presence of the dashed connectors is moot. Not trying to be contrarian here...
