Thanks to updated comment for the package by  Daniel Schwitzgebel
(http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10942254/rocklight_0.1-2ubuntu1.debdiff),
I realized this bug is a permission issue.  To fix (non-permanently):

  sudo chmod a+rw /proc/acpi/ibm/light

Note that this is a small security issue, but I find it acceptable to
get rocklight to work.

How would one make this permanent?  Should it be part of the rocklight
package?
