You're using a phong floor...
try to use a blend of phong and diffuse...
but actually, I can see caustics ;)

which version do you use?
how high is your IoR?
which app?

version 0.5?
Imediately stop using it!!!
The newest STABLE is V 0.6
and the NEWEST is 0.7 test 7, which is so stable, that you imediately can use it ;)

Look into Indigo Anouncements in the forums, to find those ;)
