Actually that's different to my problem, my media container is invisible but 
the smoke media from my volcano gets more fogged than the top of the volcano 
does at the same distance.

I've managed to work round the problem by an extremely elaborate means:

First, I tried using a global media instead of the fog, but that did exactly 
the same thing. So then I replaced it with a huge box of media in front of 
the camera, differenced with the smoke-media's container. And I added a copy 
of the air-media to the inside of the smoke media's container. All of this 
meant that pov finally got the message and gave me the result I was after, 
though it's a ludicrously elaborate work-round.
