Howto eliminate margins on FO coverpage?


I'm trying to make the coverpage of my book one big image, but cannot get it to work correctly.
I'm using:
xsltproc 1.0.18
libfop-java 0.20.3
docbook-xsl 1.50.0

Here is the template I can up with that doesn't work:
<!-- CoverPage -->
<xsl:template name="book.titlepage.recto">
<fo:block margin-left="-1in" margin-top="-2in"
margin-right="-1in" margin-bottom="-2in"
padding-top="-1in" padding-bottom="-2in"
background-color="red">
<fo:external-graphic height="11in"
width="8.5in"
src="i_am_a_big.jpeg"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

What happens is the red background streches from side to side, but only in the middle of the page (offset up a little). The image is in the upper-left corner, but doesn't fill the page. I've tried many variations on this template with no luck. I'm not getting any relevant diagnostics messages from the software.

Thanks in advance for any help.
