Raytracing referenced objects

<running Maya 6.5>
I finished a model, textured it and rigged it. After that, I referenced it into a new scene for animation and lighting. The problem is that for some reason Raytracing doesn't cast shadows onto other objects. Shadow maps work just fine but raytracing doesn't.

I went back to the original model and set up some lights with raytracing enabled and it worked well. This leads me to believe that maybe the raytracing isn't working because the model has been referenced from another file.. I honestly don't know if this has anything to do with it but it's all I've been able to come up with so far.

Any thoughts?
