You have to change the settings so that it actually writes the .dat file.

Ie, change the line that reads:

#declare Scene_Detail = 7;

to

#declare Scene_Detail = 1;

then rerun, change the number to 2, then 3 etc.

One of the settings (I think 2 or 3) generates the rocks.dat file for you to
use later on in the higher detail settings.
