      Well, this is why I was interested. I was getting very similar 
messages with my scene, (and actually, that very same message that you 
received as above too). The only difference between your scene and mine is 
that your PoV file is a large SDL file, and my PoV file is only 25Kb's but 
calling for around 1 Gb of Wings models. I've now corrected my problem by 
reducing some of my initial  models (grass) in file size, and it renders.

     I'm thinking that you may have to reduce/play around with that Atlas 
model in some way, but if it doesn't work, then sure, post (zip) the whole 
scene somewhere and I'll take a look, (although, I don't have 3.1 installed. 
I have 3.5 and 3.6).
