DIALUX uses an unofficial version of the POV code, presumably with some 
changes to the syntax. POV provides the ability to add a
   #version unofficial ....
directive to scene files that use unofficial syntax, which can be used 
to specify the fact that the scene has been created to run with a 
specific unofficial syntax.

If your scene happens to not use any of the DIALUX-specific syntax, then 
you could try removing the #version directive and see if it runs under 
an official version of POV.

If your scene does use DIALUX specific POV syntax, then your scene will 
only render in the version of POV modified by DIALUX. I guess you can do 
this via the DIALUX interface, or you could launch the DIALUX version of 
POV directly without running the DIALUX application. If you installed 
DIALUX to the default location, its version of POV should be in 
C:\Program Files\DIALux\pvengine.exe.
