Hey, I answered exactly the same question a few hours ago in the French
POV-Ray group... Looks that there's an epidemic :)

What happens is that your model doesn't have uvmapping data. It wouldn't be
a problem, but the converter still puts the uv_mapping keyword in the file,
perhaps with bogus uv coordinates.  I don't know about Poseray, but that is
what 3DWin does and it gave me some headaches before I figured it out.
What you need is either to create true uvmapping info (with uvmapper for
instance), or just remove the uv_mapping keyword at the end of the object
include file. You'll need to do that every time you regenerate the file of
course...
