You talk about creating a new group and useres which leads me to think
that your  POV install isn't all  world readable, meanin  that any use
can't read all of the include  files and directories.  Su to root then
do:

# chmod -R 755 /usr/local/lib/povray-3.5

The hash at the beginning of the line is not to be typed it's supposed 
to represent what the prompt will look like. 

This  command   makes  the   POV  directories  readable   to  everyone
(presuming that the above command  is addressing the location of your
POV install).
