You may need to add write permissions for Group of World. The latter may not be very secure, so it may be worth asking your host's technical support for advice about the best strategy.
Who are you hosting with? Do you have access rights to set group ownership?

Setting permissions for User, Group and World to Read, Write and Execute for all files within my "dev" folder appears to have fixed it. I now get Backlight's Login screen.
I use hostmatters.com
Thanks!

Ben, shouldn't it be sufficient to give write permission only to /backlight/data?

Almost. Only /backlight/data/ and /galleries (or other top-level galleries directory) need to be writeable by the web server. It's often the case that these are writeable without needing to explicitly set permissions.
