Ah, but remember that official POV-Ray versions change layers to 'transmit' regardless
of using
'filter' in them or not.  That could be the problem.
Other than that, Chris is right, drop the ambient to zero, use diffuse 1 (or higher)
and use a rgb
1 or higher for the light source or plane color also (but probably not both).
