Problem with Attenuation Maps

Hello,
I´ve noticed that matte objects are not visible on saved attenuation maps, so that correct shadow casting on geometry is impossible.
As you can see on the attached composition (composite.jpg), the shadows from the particle sphere are casted on objects in front of it too,
because these matte objects are not excluded correctly in the attenuation map (attenuation_map.jpg).
I´ve attached the testscene too, please take a look at it. I´m using the latest Krakatoa version 1.5.2 Beta 2 and 3dsmax 2009 (german).

Thanks

Yep, something is definitely broken - matte objects should be seen by the light sources.
Thanks for reporting this, we will look at it on as soon as we return to work on Tuesday.

Great!
I´ve checked this with voxels too and got the same result. Also there are no shadows generated by the matte objects
in this case (small box on the top right casts no shadow on the particle sphere).
