Command line always takes precedence over INI.  If you are using the beta of
v3.5 you can add the new command line in during the current render and it
will (should) be used upon rendering the next scene file added to your Queue
(don't need to specify that on command line, just use Render|Queue or Alt Q.
Checking to be sure here (done it before but have to be sure) it is flawless
for beta 8 anyway.  If you aren't using v3.5 then I don't have an idea,
unless maybe the pvengine.ini can be edited to remove the command reference.

Sorry to tell you this but it does not, just tried editing pvengine.ini and
testing it out that way.  It only holds that info from when POV-Ray last
runs and won't change anything even when quit and started again.  Changes
once the command line has been invoked through a render.
