You are correct, POV will recognize either extension.  The problem is with the
format of the jpg I am using.
Each file that failed would open in all other viewers I have but not in POVray.
Re-saving the JPG from the graphics program seemed to fix the read error but the
textures had errors 'corrupt JPEG data'   X extraneous bytes before marker 0xdb.

The JPG textures had a section that was off set  by about one unit between tiles.
Not sure yet if this is a bug or a mistake I made converting the texture.  The
converted JPG still reads fine in the other program and renders OK in an Open GL
environment.

I will post a picture in the binaries forum under the same thread heading.

Thanks
Dean
