Yes, for a mesh, you have to make a mesh texture.
In Moray,
open the material editor,
select the material that is causing an error
right click
select Properties/Rename   (shortcut Alt/Enter)
Check "This is a mesh2 texture...." box


Doesn't it work better?
Moray doesn't allow a material on a mesh, only a texture ( material is a
hierarchy level above a texture:
material{texture{...}[interior{...}]}
in pov language, interior being optional.
By default, Moray exports materials to POV even if you put no interior so
you have to tell Moray to export only a texture.
