Well I don't even know what I would be looking for in my povray .conf as I
can "povray linux.pov" and it runs just fine so this must be a problem with
the .ini files

Once the script runs the output to the first of my ini files is as follows:
+I/Users/Optio/Desktop/testing/linux.pov +Linclude/ +FP +H768 +W1024 -D +SR1
+ER192 +Olinux_0000.ppm

Now I have tried chmod 777 on my linux.pov and I now get a different error
message:

Possible Scene File Parser Initialization Error: Could not find file
 'Users/Optio/Desktop/testing/linux.pov'
Scene File Parser Initialization Error: Cannot open input file.

So now I'm assuming that there is something wrong with the format of my ini
file.
