OK, I know your problem has been solved.

This kind of problem is sure to become a FAQ (maybe it should be added
to that group?). So it is time to ask all POV-users to keep in mind what
follows and spread the word.

Reserved keywords for POV will always use only small letters!
Please make it a habit of using at least one Capital letter in declared
identifiers or variables. This way you will never run into conflict with
the currently reserved keywords or the ones that might be added in the
future.
I have seen too many macros using variables without a capital
letter in the identifier causing problems with keywords of new patches.

So, please, when you are writing scenes or macros, keep this in mind.
