I think you need to render the .POV file.  The .BAK is simply the 
version closest to the latest .POV that gets renamed to that 
extension upon a save of your POV file.

Your graphics file will most likely be a .TGA file (Targa).

What are you using to create the script files, hand coding them 
or a modeler such as Moray?
