I'll tell you: since I just tried to solve my problem any way I could, I 
tried this thing also. Googling aroud revealed a documentation page 
regarding this permission stuff - and despite it was the docs of 3.6 
beta, I thought I'd give it a try. After all, why should I have assumed 
that *anything* I find in the beta docs wouldn't apply to 3.5?

Additionally, this syntax can be found in the stock povray.conf which 
comes with 3.5, so I guess I wasn't that really wrong with my assumption.

Yes. And what good is it if I don't have the privilege to install it 
where it's due, and thus povray thinks the list of permitted paths is 
empty (which I'm free to constrain further through user-specific 
configfiles)?

Anyway, thanks for the valuable input.
