No, you still got it all upside down.  Probably I didn't make clear enough
that there is a huge different between what you as a user see and what a
program will "see" (not really, but I can't explain it better without going
into endless details).  So POV-Ray cannot *access* files with non-ASCII
names in a portable manner.  It has absolutely nothing to do with you giving
files names with non-ASCII characters.  It has nothing to do with one
particular operating system.  It has to do with how to universally access
files.
