Well, reflection on, without the underscore, to be exact.  Unless I've missed out on a
change.
Furthermore you need the keyword  target  in the photon block of the reflective object
you want the light to
bounce off of.  At least in my knowledge that is the case.
The HTML (or other form) help file for MegaPOV is a great resource anyhow.
