  Light-groups and hollow objects (Message 1 to 3 of 3)

I have a scene with several large spheres each of which is hollow and a 
camera inside the spheres. Ground fog works normally - no problem.

As soon as I place two of the spheres into a light_group I get the camera 
inside non-hollow object warning and, of course, my ground fog disappears. 
Gah!!

You can't use hollow as a modifier in a light_group so is there a 
work-around that might help me get my ground fog back?
