It's been a while since I've messed around with this script and Blender. I
had it working back then but have since gotten a newer verion of Blender 
(2.22)
and a newer version of Python (2.2). So I tried out the script tonight 
and did
run into a problem, just not exactly the same as yours. However, the
workaround I did may also solve your problem.

I also had the strubi message. I suspect some hard coding in the
Blender program. It seems to expect to find python modules in
/usr/lib/python2.0 (and other amazing paths ;) and isn't trying to
look in /usr/lib/python2.2 which is where I needed it to look. I'm sure
there's more elegant solutions but I went brute force and moved the
/usr/lib/python2.0 one to a save directory then made a symlink for
python2.0 to point to python2.2 like this:

ln -s /usr/lib/python2.2 /usr/lib/python2.0

I then followed the same instructions you did, exported the chevy.blend
sample file, rendered it in POV and voila!

Hope this works for you too!
