I'm surprised you don't get any error.  My guess is you are running into
I/O restrictions. Your external.pov is in a not-allowed directory (Your
include starts with a '/').  Try copying external.pov to the same
directory as your main file.

My project has 200+ include files, but they are all in the current
directory or a subdirectory below it.
