Skydome always black?

I've got Stonemason's sky dome and a few others, but everytime I include a sky dome, my renders are just black. I put up lights inside, still black. Anyone else have/solve this problem?

Iray render?

Iray does not use skydomes...a physical dome acts like a giant umbrella over the scene.  If you want to use the dome you need to adjust it.  I believe this means tweaking its surfaces to be nearly transparent.
