In case you don't believe me, here's the scene I'm trying to render:


//#include "colors.inc"
  background { color rgb<.1,.3,.3> }
  camera {
   location <0, 0, 0>
   angle 90
   look_at <0, 0, 1>
  }
  sphere {
    <0, 0, 6>, 2
    texture {
      pigment { color rgb<.1, .1, .2> }
    }
  }
  light_source { <0, 0, 0>, rgb<1.0, 1.0, 1.0>}


there should be absolutely no problems.  camera is correct, looking in positive
z direction.  sphere at z=6, 2 units radius, I should be able to see it.  it's
sort of darkish but it should show up against the background.

light source is at the origin, and it's white light.

The render I get is just the background color -- nothing else renders.

Here is the output:
