That's because the BMP format doesn't support transparency.
Use PNG by adding +FN or TARGA by adding +FC or +FT.
If you want to change the default file format, so that you don't have to
remember to use the switches each time, then you can edit your master
POVRAY.INI file (in the Tools menu) to add the switches you want to be
active by default.

Oh, sorry, since you said "as well" I figured you already knew how to set
the file format.
As Mike Williams said, use +FN or +FT.
