I'd check the objects in the POV file for 'no_shadow'.
If it's there get rid of it, if not then I can't say for sure as I know 
nothing about sketchup.

But in POV there are only few ways that there are no shadows. Check the 
light sources, if there is 'shadowless'in them get rid of it.
If there are no light sources then you will have no shadows!!
And lastly make sure that the objects are on or near the ground.
Some times a combination of camera & object & ground plane placementa 
combine to makes it look like an object had no shadow.

Hope this helps.

Have Fun!!
