What a unhelpful error message! can't they at least include information

on the value that was supposed to be used?

We need the permissions of the actual device file (/dev/rtc0) , _not_

the link since the link permission only describes who is allowed to

follow the link.

You might have your settings for the maximum value set too low. What does

the following show:
 $ cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq
On older kernels that should be:
 $ cat /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
Also relevant:
 $ cat /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq 
You can set these values like this:
 $ sudo echo 2048 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq

 $ sudo echo 2048 > /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq
or set them in /etc/sysctl.conf
