*************************
This little script should split a povray file into a bunch of little pieces
(ppm's), but I'm having problems with this line right here:

("/Users/myuser/desktop/test/linux.pov +Linclude/ +FP +H$height +W$width -D
+SR%d +ER%d +0linux_%0.4d.ppm",$start,$end,$i) ;

It first converts my pov file into a series of 4 ini files. Each of these
ini files will create a ppm file from a certain point in the image to
another point. I recieve this error on trying to render:

Scene File Parser Initialization Error: Reading from
'/Users/Optio/Desktop/testi
ng/linux.pov' is not permitted.  Check the configuration in
'/Users/optio/.povra
y/3.6/povray.conf'.

Any ideas???
