nHair Shadow Trouble Maya 2015

Hello!

I'm working on a character in maya 2015 and I'm currently trying to solve a problem with the nhair.

Basically, the shadows do not act properly on the hair. As can be seen in the picture below, there is a strong shadow on the body while the hair itself seem to be uniformly lit.

I put a part of the hair white another black and even added a plane with a brand new hair system. To no avail. It is currently lit by a spot light in front of the character with ray trace shadows on. I'm rendering with mental ray.

Has anyone come across a similar problem? I can provide the files if someone would be willing to investigate.
