Cannot catch reflective glare with radiance

I am modeling the curtain-wall reflective glare, and I use BRTDfunc to model the reflective glaze. But I cannot catch the reflective glare in the rendered picture. I also tried to bump up the -ab -ad -bp parameters, however, it still didn't work. Below is my command line.
