Someone else had a similar problem, but I was unable to find the problem
at that point.  Hopefully I will this time.  That person was also doing
a Rhino->3ds->POV conversion, so the problem may be in one of the steps
of the conversion process.  But I won't rule out UV-Pov.  I'd rather
you not email the files (limited disk space on the server holding my
email), but if you could post here or in the scene-files group, I'll
take a closer look.
