This sounds like your UDO is wrongly align (or mirrored) in the INC file.
That is possible if the UDO is symetric: You see the wireframe in Moray and
the shape in POV and they seem to match, but internally the object is
actually mirrored, only that you can't see it since, it is symmetrically.
And then, when you try to cut out something on one side, you see it actually
disappering at the other side.

Go and have a look at the POV code in the INC file of the UDO. Try to render
a handcoded scene where you use the object and see how this comes out. Maybe
you only need as much as a scale -1*x (or whichever axis is mirrored) to fix
it.

Hope it helps,
Johannes.
