Running Arch 3.2.5, I've compiled everything and it looks fine except that at book I get 'error loading module i915_jprobe operation not permitted"

I've properly installed the files (manually doublechecking the steps in the makefile). I can see the vgaswticheroo/switch file, read it for the status of the two cards and echo commands to it all fine. I ran mkinitcpio -p linux after having added asus-switcheroo and i915-jprobe to the config file beforehand. I've also blacklisted nouveau and my rc.conf modules line reads "asus-switcheroo i915-jprobe nouveau-jprobe vboxdrv acpi_call". I've tried chmod 744 i915-jprobe.ko and also chmod 755 but every bootup gives me the error and everytime I try modprobe or insmod I get the same error.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is there a better way to do this? I've honestly had a hard time telling whether or not the graphics cards actually switch when I echo the commands and restart X.
