POV's photons look different in this scene because POV is still shooting
photons from a single point.  You can enable POV to shoot photons from the
area light by adding "photons{area_light}" to the light_source definition.

Also, add "gather 0,200" to the photons block in the global settings (to
smooth the splotchiness introduced by the area-light photons).  (This last
part might require the next RC of POV 3.5... it may not work quite right
with the current release.)
