Do you mean only Konsole works? I don't know how it could work on 
Konsole but not with another terminal program, but that wouldn't be a 
POV problem.

What do you mean "other .pov files"?
You seem to imply that it does work sometimes, but you are very unclear 
about when it works and when it doesn't.

This looks like the permissions on the povray.ini file don't allow you 
to read it. If so, adjust them to give yourself read permissions.
