I'm still getting permission denied:

 daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ SECS=`date -u --date "2013-08-29 10:50:00" +%s`
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
bash: /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm: Permission denied
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ echo $SECS > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
bash: /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm: Permission denied
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ SECS=`date -u --date "2013-08-29 10:50:00" +%s`
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
bash: /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm: Permission denied
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo echo $SECS > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
bash: /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm: Permission denied
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$
