Well... I think it is forward kinematics, as transmission of rotation starts 
at the shoulder and ends at the hand. It works ok by the way.
I shall post in p.b.scene-files your scene code and my own from the right 
arm, as it is generated by Moray. Be aware that in Moray, the z-axis is 
up!!! At the end, I transformed the arm to POV-Ray coordinates. You will see 
that rotations start at the wrist and work up to the shoulder.

Hope this helps!!
