You need to use only one difference statement. Currently you create six
spheres and out of each of them you cut out one torus. Try this:

difference {
    //the sphere I want to "etch"
    sphere {<0,0,0.5> 1.4}

    #declare Count1=0;
    #while (Count1 < 6)

        //This is the torus I want to make 6 (well 5 copies of)
        torus {
            1.0, 0.8
            scale <1,0.1,1>
            translate <0,0,0.5>
            rotate <0,0,60*Count1>
        }

    #declare Count1=Count1+1;
    #end

    texture {T13} // A nice gold texture in metals.inc
}
