You need to render by adding the depth channel and selecting .Zpic, not
.zt,
so that the .Zpic values are remapped properly.  It's normal for Zpic
values
to be between 0.0 and 1.0 in the fxtree, it's inside the DOF effect
that the values will be multiplied back into softimage units.

However, ZPic are only avaiable if you also render the color buffer
to softimage .pic, perhaps that is your problem.
