I have not yet played with the new user-defined camera, so I ran your code just
to see what it produces. ;-)

I changed your background{rgb 1} to rgb <0,1,0>, to give myself a better
understanding of the rendered result and how it relates to Paul Bourke's
question.

The background *within* your box map does indeed show up as green now-- but does
PB's question concern the *surrounding* area? That renders as black, regardless
of the background color.
