Make a rendering with --photo-mode and check that it looks like what you are expecting. Errors become more obvious to my eyes with a realistic-looking rendering than the false color of gerbv or pcb. If the design isn't secret, post the rendering online (eg., imgur.com) and we'll all take a look. You can use Advanced Circuit's freedfm.com and see what it says.
