Set the radius of the cylinder to 1, then rescale it by scale<.2,1,.2> 
just before you rotate it.
You don't need to set finish{reflection 0}}, it's the default value.
Set your cylinder verticaly, as it's the orientation of the cylindrical 
pattern, then rotate the whole thing.
...
scale<0.2, 1, 0.2>
rotate -90*z
translate<0, 0, 2>
}
