   Are you sure there is a .pov file with that name on the same folder 
you are running the command from?

   The usual way with POV-Ray is to have a folder per scene, holding all 
the .pov, .inc and other files needed by that scene. If you have files 
(.inc or bitmaps) that you use often on many scenes, you will typically 
put them into a "library" folder, adding it to the POV-Ray library path 
so that it can be found by POV-Ray.
