Problem with render outdoor images

When I render and outdorr image with sunlight, the areas that cast a shadow have do not render out and leave black spots. See renderingA11008%20McKinley%20Residence-5.jpg

I see that you rendered for only 16 passes. These black dots may go away with more passes. (Which of course would take more time)

Also, I see you had indirect lighting set to gather. The gather method gets the lighting of the chairs from "random" directions and produces spots like this unless you give it enough passes. What happens if you turn indirect lighting off?

I saw one of the iRender video's on youtube and mentioned that the gather method might be better then the exterior method. I think I will try that with some more passes. Thanks
