Wayne,
Had a similar problem here and I believe
after removing one of my ambient occlusion maps it went away. Not sure if
your using AO but worth mentioning.

Subject: Black dots in renders
Searched a bit on the base and found a couple posts but no
one really came to a conclusion as to what actually causes the black 1-4 pixel
sized artifacts to occur. Using a dual, dual core amd box here and got a ton of
them (4-6 per frame) in my last render. Using an ldr image with one area light
casting shadows in the image. Some posts at the base suggested scene size but I
have a single character about the same size as the default man that ships with
XSI so Im guessing it isnt that. Has anyone else had this occur and if so, any
workarounds you may have come up with apart from hand painting them out frame by
frame. Thanks!
