I don't have one in my file, and it works fine.  Try specifying the 
output path on the command line like:

x-povray -ilights.pov -o/home/sjlen/pov/lights.ppm -W800 -H600 -a

You probably want this stuff in a directory within your home directory
otherwise it'll get messy very quickly. 

Then try: 

$ touch somefile.test  

and see if you get a permission denied error.
