Umm, Mental ray render issue

Hi, I modeled a gear in maya applied a dgs material to it, made a GREEN image plane with lambert shader...I am using an HDRI image for imaged based lighting...But i am having a problem with the image plane i created being totally black, and also something is happening to the lighting on the gear???I i tried used a blinn instead of a lambert it seems to work, but I want to use a lambert for the image plane and it should work???what the heck...attached a pic user added image
