Hood won't cast shadow

I have a character with a hooded cloak (Wildenlander) but for the life of me I can't get it to cast a shadow across the man's face. The lights all cast shadows, so does the hood. Any ideas?

And I also have the nagging problem with the glowing eyes, teeth, and nostrils…which should have been solved by making sure everything casts shadows. I'm guess there is some mystery light going on here that I can't find.

    Without seeing the exact light set up it's hard to tell, and if you are certain your main light has raytraced shadows ON, then, since you mention numerous lights, it possible one of the other lights is cancelling out the shadow effect you want. Remove some of the tertiary lights or lower their intensity and see what happens.

    I've tried those things. Even turned off the sky thinking it my have some light effect. This set is Stonemason's Winter Ruins set and it's pre-rigged with lights and cameras…very nicely done…so I'm using it as is.
