I also encountered such an error. The reason was that my R52 
identifies itself as "ThinkPad ." which is not matched by the whitelist
in hdaps.c. I checked this with

 # dmidecode -t system
 # dmidecode 2.8
 SMBIOS 2.33 present.

 Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 25 bytes
 System Information
         Manufacturer: IBM
         Product Name: 1847W62
         Version: ThinkPad .   
 [...]

and frankly added the second line in hdaps.c

 [...]
 HDAPS_DMI_MATCH_NORMAL("ThinkPad R52"),
 HDAPS_DMI_MATCH_NORMAL("ThinkPad"),
 [...]

Now, it works flawlessly. HTH
