No, it works fine.
It's easy to paste the path out of explorer in WindowsXP,
but it's back-slashes instead of forward-slashes.
The reason that this works is "full file path\base_terrain_v2.png"
is a string literal, not a string variable, the back-slash isn't interpreted
as an escape character in a literal.
If it makes you feel better to use forward slashes, that's fine too.

I'm not aware of any reason that this scene wouldn't render under
a Linux version of POV, though it does have many warnings which
are being suppressed by +WL0 in the command line.
I have 1 GB memory, maybe you have less? Sometimes POV
doesn't handle virtual memory as well as it should.
