Thanks for the comments, hborre!

I took out the Fresnel and you're right - makes no difference.

As for the SSS, I placed a light behind her and ramped up the SSS values. This works well now - maybe even a little bit too much. 
Notice that I still have the Method set as Burley. When I switched to Walk Fixed, the SSS disappeared... Don't ask. I do not know why.

Your Scatter radius values are too high.  IMHO, those values should be kept between 0 and 1, and your scale should be between 0.01 and 0.015 for human figures.  The reason your SSS disappeared is that the combination of the scatter radius returns a white color value.  Keeping those values below 1 will create a scatter color.
