Hi ya, I had a problem with geo' normals from a heavy model generated from Houdini. I found unlock normals seemed to sort them out. Polygons/Normals/UnlockNormals... worth a try..
You can toggle view normals similar to XSI by going Polygon/Display/Polygons/Face Normal Just make sure you have the object in selection mode.. Damn I miss XSI so much..

They look jacked in Maya as well when I turn the two-sided lighting off. It still renders clean though. If Soft would render clean I'd be in business.
