Hi,

I tried pasting your sample into a scene file and creating a jpeg of the 
name you've used and it worked fine on Windows XP with POV-Ray 3.6.

A few possibilities spring to mind -
1. Your file name may not be exactly the same (l (L)instead of 1 (one), 
underscore instead of hyphen, space in front of or at the end of the file 
name, case difference (p vs P).)
2. Something a bit odd with the file format (incorrect conversion to JPEG, 
corrupted file)
3. Something operating system specific about the name - try renaming it to 
aaa.jpg and see if that works.

p.s. with the plane you defined you won't see much as the image is projected 
onto the XY plane. You need <0,0,1> or to rotate the pigment through x*90.

Hope that helps.
Regards,
Chris B.
