Vray Mirror and Window Issue_Reflection is Black??

[AB01USER]

I am using a mirror in one of my renderings and I am having some issues with the reflection of the window that it is reflecting. The window shows up as being black, when it should show up with daylight coming through it. I have attached an image to show what I'm describing. I've tried changing the sun settings as well as the time in sketchup, but still no luck. Is it maybe some of the settings for my vray mirror material? Anyone have any suggestions?

What's your Max Reflection/Refractions? (Under General Switches)
Might want to increase it.

Do you have the alpha channel turned on. It could be that your image is transparent. Did you try turning the alpha channel off and saving as jpg?
