I get MUCH beter results using an image_map in a pigment statement than 
your material_map in a texture statement. Normaly, material_map should 
be used only with patted image format, and can cause weird result if you 
use high or true colour.
Your material_map perform a substitution of colours. Using an image_map 
will use your image as it is without altering it's colours.


Your normals lokks plain wrong. You may be beter without.
Why does your images have SO MUCH unused space?
You should NEVER use sys as file type. Always use png, bmp, gif, 
jpeg,... as appropriate to your actual image.
Your cubes ar NOT UV mapped!

Change:  texture{ wm_cube3_auv}
by :texture{ pigment{uv_mapping wm_cube3_auv}}
This will turn UV mapping on for that pigment.

REMOVE the scalling and translate on your image_map. The UV mapping 
takes care of the placement and scalling.
