I like using caustics in my still life renderings also, However this is only an ideal. I use FinalRender to produce my renderings, but you mite want to check in the properties pulldown of each object that the recieve and generate caustics are turned on. Also in the material it self, there mite be a way to turn the caustics off and on. Or may be the light is not producing the right amount of caustics protons or energy. Again these are just some ideals to check into that may be causing the problem.

Looks like you forgot to turn on the caustics in the photonmap server. Here's a picture of a similar test I based on your picture. Does it look like what you're trying to achieve?
