Can you post a small sample scene that show your problem?
Many users can provide their own HDR and image map.
If the mesh2 is large, use a symplified/largely decimated one.
If the sanple scene is relatively small (under 5K), you can post it 
here. For larger ones, you can use povray.text.scene-files or 
povray.binaries.scene-files.

Make sure that you use spherical mapping for your HDR image. Add 
map_type 1 to your pigment.

Is your mesh2 closed?
