I addition to what Palle said (which is correct):
- In your example both path strings are equal. If you really tried this
  you shouldn't get a change in background image.
- In your example is a typo in the URL (Backgruond)
- I haven't checked the mapserver parsers in detail but the 
  layer name (Background_10k) might be a problem too. You may change
  this eg to Background10k just for a check.

Regards

        Frank
