Problems with render layers in maya

[Nawbean]

can you clear you question?
What are you using to render your background
plane with map of imageplane on camera or its mesh stuffs

if its plane of imageplane make sure haven't cheked the box on use image sequence on your texture file attribute.
render layer are sensitive , hope you havent done layer override on unusual areas.
check it out.
i hope it will help you

yeah i should have prob specfied.

I have a poly plane, and a poly object. there are no textures on the plane, just a blinn with reflective properties on it. and like i said it renders for the first frame and then disappears.

so i guess its not my backgrounnd but the ground plane, sorry for the confusion

Dude i dont think u've done set key on visibility.
need figureout man
ahhh does it render on other passes i mean other render layers.
if it does then look transparency of material, if there is any key
sorry if it is too later for you to go back and check this out.
but i think thats the way you find out whats your real problem is.
