I have a scene that mental ray is not rendering anything in (no alphas either). Maya software renders the exact same thing fine, and I've done test scenes with mental ray on this setup and it's okay.I'm just starting to play with mental ray, and this is not makeing any sense.

6.01 complete
OS X

hi boboroshi

send me the scene, then I could test it for you. I'll be here in the office for 2 more hours.

I don't know if this helps or not, but maya sofware will only render the camera proper with "Auto Render Clip Plane" turned on. I've played with various settings in the manual near/far, and none seem to make a difference. Mental Ray still won't render regardless.

Okay, i saved out a selection, duplicated the camera in question (which had an image plane attached) and it now renders. Is it the Image PLane that was screwing it up?
