So, I recently acquired Poser11 a couple months ago and have been loads of fun playing with the new render options, however, I stumbled upon a shader from a few years ago to render a jade material using the Scatter node. So far other materials that use the scatter node seem to work fine, but this one material for jade just does not want to cooperate.

I don't believe it's the lighting because I have used multiple lighting sets from Poser defaults to various indoor/outdoor HDRI light sets. This particular set I used is a bit softer than some of the others I used, but I can assure you no matter what lighting set I use, I get the same results. The material just looks like it's painted on, as if I don't even have the Scatter node plugged in. I'm not rendering in Superfly, since when this material was made it did not exist, just standard Firefly with the options shown in the image below. I have also tried other objects too with similar results as what I have posted here.

The shader is copied directly from the RuntimeDNA forum: http://forum.runtimedna.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=57809&d=1313117544

So, what am I missing here? I'm at a complete loss because it looks absolutely NOTHING like the other images people posted of their results.
