This is rather annoying.

Why would POVRay go looking for a Windows 3.1 style ini file or some .conf
file  when all parameters are specified on the command line ?  Simply to
determine the rights and permissions for output ?

$ povray -I
/export/home/dclarke/build/povray/renders/glassworks/glassworks.pov -L
/opt/csw/share/povray-3.6/include -W 640 -H 480 -P -V -X 640 -D -SP 8 -B
512 -FN16 -O
/export/home/dclarke/build/povray/renders/glassworks/g_640x480_001.png -Q9
-A0.3 -AM2 -J0.0 -R3 -K0.3141 -KC -GA
povray: cannot open the user configuration file

This is not a valid command-line. Check the command-line for syntax errors,
correct them, and try again!
Valid command-line switches are explained in detail in the reference part of
the documentation.
To get a short list of command-line switches, use either the '-h', '-?',
'-help' or '--help' switch.
