Hi Pascal,
I spend more than one hour on this, to find a clean solution. So please
add this to the wiki.
And if you can, send my a copy of the nice background image (never mind
if not). I felt in love with this, while testing your example.
Anyhow, the cut markings are still lying under the picture (Hans?),
the rest should work. The automatical scaling of the image uses a tricky
method from this mailing list

Best wishes, Peter
BTW: do you set a bleed|crop-box?
