Is there not a line that can be put in povray.ini similar to 
Library_Path? I'm sure there used to be.

Sections in povray.ini: (add them if needed)

[Permitted Input Paths]
1=InPath1
2=InPath2
[Permitted Output Paths]
1=OutPath1
2=OutPath2

Add quotes if the path contains any space.

From the wiki:
Output_File_Name=c:\(folders)\

(note the end slash).  This will create the output image as
"scenename"."filetype"  in the folder indicated.  Perhaps a bit misleading by
its name though that it's not "Output_File_Path"
