You might consider using a sky_sphere as a background instead of a
plane. You don't get shadows on a sky_sphere, and if you move the camera
there's no danger of seeing the edge.

Or, if you want the background to be a single colour you can use a
"background" command instead of the plane.

If your sure you want to keep the plane, change its finish to 
   {ambient 1 diffuse 0}
