The 'diffuse' keyword controls the object's response to the light shined on to
it. If you set the diffuse component of the finish to zero, the object's
lighting is control only by the ambient light.

Try "finish { ambient 1 diffuse 0 specular 0 }". No "light_group" required. That
should do exactly what you're asking for (although I'm not sure whether it also
does what you really want).

Thank you guys. You are right!
My mistake was keep setting ambient_light to zero in the global_settings.
At first, I was using ambient_light (global_settings) black and ambient (finish)
in the texture "white". By this way I needed to setup the diffuse (finish) to 1
in order to see anything, but the image was light influenced.

By using ambient_light 0, you effectively suppress ALL ambient in all
finishes.
The porpose of that setting is to provide a way to tint the ambient of
all finishes in a scene. The final ambient of a finish is calculated as
ambient * ambient_lights
