I don't have POV access right now, but I suspect the problem is that
the wood textures you are using are compound (ie layered) textures.  With
compound
textures, the construct :

texture {
  CompoundTexture
  normal { ... }
}

no longer functions as expected, as the normal will only affect the last
texture in the compound list.  Thus you may need to look at the definition
of CompoundTexture and customize each component separately.
