Know your optics...

The box inside the sphere is mainly visible at the opposite
location, according to the center of the sphere.
(and then in nearly all directions).

If your camera is somewhere else, the probability to find the box in
reflection drops a lot, and you'd better orient it with smart maths...

Now, also, beware of max trace level... raise it a lot, that could
help too (default value is so low...).
