Suggestion, plug the problem diffuse map directly into the Scatter Node and note if there is a difference.  Also, change the HSV node for the HSV_2 node, that's the node you should be using as a replacement.

BTW, Firefly or Superfly?  You did not specify which render engine you are using.

Thanks for getting back to me, Sorry - This is Superfly.

I did try plugging the map directly into the scatter node - it still had the problem.

the most curious thing is - I can find other textures that work just fine.

I came, I rendered, I'm still broke.
