I'm trying to run a simple led blink example like here:

I'm running a Ubuntu image on my beaglebone black with node 0.8.x.  I get a 
permission problem that looks like some form of failure to have access to 
the pins.  I added my user to the dialout group and that didn't work.  Then 
I added my user to every group I could find and that didn't work either.  
The only way I can get the code to run and do the blinking is if I run it 
as root.  My question is, how do I give my user access to whatever is 
needed to reach the pins running as non-root.  The permission problem looks 
like the following:

fs.js:338
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), 
mode);
                 ^
Error: EACCES, permission denied

    at Object.fs.openSync (fs.js:338:18)
    at Object.fs.writeFileSync (fs.js:756:15)
    at Object.f.pinMode

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
    at Module.runMain (module.js:492:10)

Thanks for any help in advance.  I'm pretty excited to get this running.
