I'm with Giles on wanting to know what type of object "head" is. Personally
I tend to include the texture declaration for UV-mapped objects with the
mesh2 declaration of the mesh. E.G.

mesh
{
    smooth_triangle {
        <-0.0277779 , 0.371302 ,-0.0331393 > <-0.0639206 ,-0.152895

    }
...more trianlges...

    }
    uv_mapping
    texture {MyTextureNameHere}
}

and I haven't noticed any problem with UV--POV or MegaPOv (0.3,0.4, and just
started using 0.5). I *did* notice some odd features when trying to do
UV-mapping in official POV (and befor eI got the hang of the syntax used
above) but not since.

Hope this helps (which version of POV are you using BTW?)

Cheers,
