I've been trying different ways to get povray to accept a filename
with a space in it as an argument too but with no luck. I get the
same kind of message that you're getting.

I am running the Linux version (my own compiled one) 3.5 on RedHat
7.1, KDE 3.01 and I am also running it from Konsole. I tested it
at a text only console though and it did the same thing so I doubt
it's KDE related. I suspect it's just something to do with the way
povray is parsing the command line arguments. But have not tested
this suspicion out nor looked at the source code yet. I'm hoping
to find some time to do that soon.
