This says POV-Ray does not have permission to write to the directory.

Changing the version in the SDL won't affect POV-Ray's ability to write
to that directory. :)

The render state file is an intermediate file in case you want to
abort/resume a render. You can turn it off with -CC on the command line,
but then I'd bet that it won't have permission to write the output image
to that directory either.

Does it work with other directories? i.e. ones you own?
