I do have a half-way solution that has actually worked for me in the 
past when this comes up:

Go to www.sysinternals.com, download process explorer. Open it up and 
search for the file handle, Kill the handle that POV-Ray has held open 
(your file...) save the file and continue.

Standard disclaimer: I am not responsible for crashes as a result of 
this solution. YMMV. etc, etc etc...
