Shellout is not working for me with Beta 41 on Slackware 13.1 x86_64.
Using the same povray.conf and povray.ini it works OK with Povray 3.6.1.

Pre_Scene and Post_Frame are prohibited. Post_Scene is ignored.

Error messages copy/pasted from the command line dialogue (error messages all
displaced twice!):

POV-Ray finished

This is my povray.ini
Pre_Scene_Command="echo 'Pre_Scene' > mem.txt    && free -m >> mem.txt"
Post_Scene_Command="echo 'Post_Scene' >> mem.txt && free -m >> mem.txt"
Post_Frame_Command="echo 'Post_Frame' >> mem.txt && free -m >> mem.txt"

I have set these two lines in povray.conf:
[File I/O Security]
none       ; all read and write operations on files are allowed.

[Shellout Security]
allowed

Cheers,
Peter

this got fixed and it's in the pending release (RC1) :-)
