Either remove the transparent objects completely in the first pass as Tek
suggests, or have them fully transparent as with the second pass (and make
sure recursion_limit is high enough to let the light through properly), or,
if you are using MegaPOV, set the no_radiosity flag on your transparent
objects.

The second option will be the most realistic, but may also be slower.

Nice scene by the way!
