I don't see anything obviously wrong with the number formatting:

<0.1231928,0.913117,0.3886397>,
<0.2473599,0.8537122,0.4582451>,
<0.2138725,0.9033616,0.3717476>,
<0.4174524,0.808294,0.4152039>,
<0.3592963,0.8736917,0.3279772>,
<0,0.877506,0.4795656>,
<0,0.8864407,0.4628422>,

unless the "0," that leads the coordinate triplets of the last two lines screws
up the parser and it really needs to see 0.0 instead.  Seems unlikely, though.
I'll look for more subtle formatting weirdness, though.

To be clear, I did the Poseray conversion, and produced the first image.
Thinking it was all working well, I sent her the POV scene, and she replied
with the mangled image.

Thanks!
