I don't know about Moray, but I think the problem you are experiencing 
is indeed caused by objects which are #declared but not placed into the 
scene. Try placing the individual body parts into your scene:

union{
  object{ body }
  object{ hair }
  object{ .... }
}

Many mesh modelers will show you all mesh objects contained within a 
particular file, which is why the mesh showed up in Moray but not in the 
render. When a render job is sent to POV-Ray, it is probably converted 
to POV SDL, and somehow you object's body parts were declared but not 
placed into the scene. Perhaps there is a little radio button somewhere 
that is causing the object to be left out for the final render?
