The program can take any number of arguments*, or at least maybe a dozen of
them. (I never could find a limit to them.) But arguments are of little use if
the program doesn't run in the first place.
*) For instance, argument 0 is the program name itself, including its path)

have you checked your global ("system-wide") 'povray.conf' wrt permissions ?
(your private/user 'povray.conf' too, of course :-))
if your permissions are ok but your program doesn't run, it may be an
environment / $PATH issue; your code may only see a subset of the environment
(variables) POV-Ray sees.

Yes, I think jr was trying to reference
https://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Unix_Section_4
With regard to giving povray the necessary permissions for invoking executables.
(Sorry if you've already tried that - it wasn't clear from the thread if you had
or not)

FYI, I found that execution of external programs is disabled by default. You can
enable it in "Options" -> "Script I/O restrictions" and uncheck "Disable
starting other programs". Now
Post_Scene_Command = c:RenumberPOVrayFiles.exe %s
indeed runs my program, but the parameter %s is still not recognized.

check your program ?
fwiw, I'd write a simple shell script, and supply and check the expansion of the
seven substitutions available.
