Hi Alan.

What you're trying to do is use a string constant where a texture
identifier should be used. This doesn't work. Recently I asked a
similar question and the general opinion was that it could be achieved
by adequate use of file input/output. Try this:

#declare vasetex = concat ( "T_Gold_", str(counter,1,0), "A")

#fopen F "tempfile.tmp" write
  #write (F, vasetex)
#fclose F

object { Vase texture { include "tempfile.tmp" } }

POV is currently heavily rendering so I haven't tried this, but I'm
pretty certain it should work.
