Just thought I would note that, when I first ran your scene file (using one of
your posted df3 files), POV produced an error message: "Cannot read media
density file." Thinking about it a bit, I discovered something interesting (for
me, anyway, as I'm rather new to df3 usage.) Turns out that the scene file's
media density statement needs to be changed to

     density{
           density_file df3 "00001017.df3.dat"

because your uploaded df3 file is a .dat format file. Then it runs OK.
Alternately, the df3 file itself, wherever it's stored, can be renamed as just
00001017, and then called in the media density block as "00001017.dat"

I find this interesting because I assumed that POV's syntax for using a df3 file
was 'rigid,' in the sense that it had to be expressed *only* as "00001017.df3"

Other than that, I can't offer any useful advice on the problem you're having;
sorry.  My only suggestion would have been to up the media samples count; but
that doesn't help.
