If I understand correctly, the angular relationship between the key and
backlight is already at 135 degrees (viewed down the y-axis), since the key
light is 45 degrees off  to the left and the backlight is behind the
subject. It might help if I position the lights by putting them at a
standard position and rotating them around the subject instead of my rather
rough positioning by offsets.

The key light is certainly key. I've set it up so I have a test render of
the target object available, and the other 2 lights provide little light,
but more than the recommended light mind - I thought that they needed more
of a presence.

Durn, you've made me re-parse this monster to find out: There are ... mmm,
POV-Ray does not say how many blob components there are!
