I was able to resolve it by manually editing the .pov file once it was created.
POVRay would reject the initial file, then I went in and edited out references
to the wrong part, replacing them with references to the correct part. Then I
simply ran the .pov file manually. This seemed to work, but was obviously a
clunky workaround.

Sounds great!
