I have no idea what is in that scene.

Make sure the flow is set to render ie the Render operator (Geometry)

Sounds like you need to add a shape operator and a material static/dynamic operator to the flow. :)

There are no pflow shape operators in the flow, in order to render particles you need to give the particles a shape. Add a shape operator! :)
