I checked, and the calculation seems to be behaving as I expected it  
to, anyway.  Are you sure you aren't getting the indirect component?   
Maybe there's something else amiss with your rendering parameters.   
Try placing "-defaults" where the octree is now and see what  
rtcontrib spits out for the full parameter list.
