/etc/rc.local is owned by the user named "root" which is like "Administrator" on windows. When you log into xbmc in general, you are probably using the username "xbmc" and not "root." You can either log in to the box via SSH (something like PuTTY) and use "sudo nano /etc/rc.local" to edit the file or you can log in remotely as root, assuming you have set a root password and so on. It is probably easiest to just log in and use nano.
