I wrote a scene file and gave it to x-povray, as you said, and it says I
have a bad INI file. What's up?

You probably need to spend a little more time with the command-line
reference. My first guess would be that you forgot to type the -i.

Yup like Ron says I get that if I miss the -i as shown below:
[sjlen:pov]$ x-povray letters.pov
Persistence of Vision(tm) Ray Tracer Version 3.1g.Linux.gcc
This is an official version prepared by the POV-Ray Team(tm). See the
documentation on how to contact the authors or visit us on the
internet at http://www.povray.org.
Copyright 1999 POV-Ray Team(tm)
INI file error.
'=' or '#' must be preceded by a keyword.[sjlen:pov]$
################ End of example #####################################
Say you've got a pov file called letters.pov and you want to render it
at 800x600 with AA turned on and you want an output file of letters.ppm,
I'll demonstrate what I'd type and I'll include the command promt to
save any confusion:
[sjlen:pov]$ x-povray -iletters.pov -oletters.ppm -W800 -H600 +A0.3

I don't think povray automatically chooses the correct image format by
examining the output file name (if it does, then that's completely new
to me; it might be, though).
So if povray is outputting to, for example, targa, but the filename is
'letters.ppm', you'll only get problems.
I would just leave the -o-switch out. If I want a different output format
I would add a +f... command in 'povray.ini'.
