No, you don't have to compensate for the Softar, I don't think. To test, 
check the meter with it on and off and see if there is a difference.

What went wrong? Was the flash set for the proper film speed? Was the 
proper aperture set on the flash? What was your shutter speed. Did you give 
it a few seconds after the green light to shoot?

And last but not least, do you KNOW the processing was right? (Grainy is 
indeed an indication of underexposure).
