if rgbf*.5 isn't a syntax error, it should be. In any case, you're
making the object semitransparent, and that means POV-Ray will shoot a
"refracted" or "transmitted" ray (it uses the terms interchangeably)
and you will run into the problem I mentioned.

How do you start at zero and get anything but zero if you keep
multiplying by .1?

Nope, the limit on the size of the stack is hard-coded. If you wanted
to make it bigger, you'd need to change it in the source and
recompile.

ior==0 is meaningless. 1 is the default for ior, but ior and
refraction don't matter - any transparent or semitransparent object is
a "refracting object."
