Well, that's one problem but if you look at the part of the command line
that say where/what the output file is you'll realize that the current
working directory (in this case I was in megapov/bin folder) is put in
front  of the rest of the path.

gives the error

  I've also discovered that it has a problem with any path containing a
space.  Weather I put it in quotes or not seams to be irrelavent.

i.e.
megapov +I"c:/program files/pov-ray for windows
v3.6/scenes/advanced/ntreal/ntreal.pov"

causes the error

unable to open files/pov-ray.ini
or unable to open files/pov-ray

  I downloaded the megapov source so I can try and find what's up with the
command interpeter but it seams to me to have some issues and it'll be a
while before I have time to do that.  So if anyone can tell me how to fix
or get arround this problem please let me know.

thanks,
  Rob
