Rotator forces a gradiant due to filter

[Esk]

I have a division that holds my rotator. That division has a background image that is 1px semi transparent png file that repeats. When the page is initially loaded everything looks fine, however when a scroll is performed by clicking on a button the background develops a gradient on x and y.

After some investigating and inspecting i saw that rrItemList has a filter css, i tried setting explicitly that class to filter: none and that made it worse - causes the gradient to be there even on initial load. Here is my front end:
Css

	#pnlPhotoStrip
	{
	margin-top: -62px;
	background-image: url(images/bgrndTransparentDark.png);
	background-repeat:repeat;
	background-color:Transparent;
	position:relative;
	width:608px;
	height:62px;
	z-index:1000;
	filter: none!important;
	}
	.outerSpan
	{
	margin: 5px 4px 5px 4px;
	border: solid 1px #8a846c;
	}
	.outerSpan img
	{
	display: block;
	}

	<div id="pnlPhotoStrip">
	<table border="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:608px;" cellspacing="0" class="tableWrapper">
	<tr>
	<td>
	<asp:Image ID="imgLeftArrow" AlternateText="left" runat="server" ImageUrl="images/btnLeft.png" />
	</td>
	<td>
	<telerik:RadRotator ID="thumbRotator" Skin="Black" runat="server" RotatorType="Buttons"
	Width="550px" Height="62px" ItemHeight="62px" FrameDuration="1" OnItemClick="ShowImage"
	ScrollDuration="1">
	<ItemTemplate>
	<div class="outerSpan">
	<asp:Image ID="imgItem" ImageUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "imagefile") %>'
	CssClass="RotatorImage" AlternateText='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Caption")%>'
	runat="server" />
	</div>
	</ItemTemplate>
	<ControlButtons LeftButtonID="imgLeftArrow" RightButtonID="imgRightArrow" />
	</telerik:RadRotator>
	</td>
	<td>
	<asp:Image ID="imgRightArrow" AlternateText="right"  runat="server" ImageUrl="images/btnRight.png" />
	</td>
	</tr>
	</table>
	</div>

I need that background to be the same opacity in the entire div.I tried:
 - changing the skin even disabling the embedded skins - no luck. 
 - creating another div to have the background image and overlaying the pnlPhotoStrip on top of it with margin:0; and higher z-index - no luck,
 - looking at the skins css to find where that filter is being set- couldn't find the class.
- filter: none for .rrItemsList didn't help at all  even with !important and I verified that it is using the infile stylesheet call to that css block by adding a border to it and that showed.

The gradient is the entire 608px x 62px which is the width / height of pnlPhotoStrip even though the rotator is smaller.

Any suggestions how i can fix this?

PS using asp.net with ajax version 2009 q1
