I found the problem guys. Somehow I had inserted 2 layers of the glass component into the group which when rendered in KT ~probably~ doubled the IOR. Once I fixed the glass to a single layer of glass the rending worked perfectly. I thank you for your assistance.

I also wrote a re-glue script: you select ONE face the components to re-glue onto it and run the tool - they are glued to the face ? Is that what you want ? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=349699#p349699 [moved to own thread] Re_Glue.rb
