uhhh... no.  Per your previous email, you had:

SCENE_MEMBER, hall_light, closet_button_B, 100%, 0.1s

... which isn't listed below, but is the relevant entry.  Note that this 
declaration makes closet_button_B become the controller and hall_light 
be the responder.  You specified 0.1s--which is "immediately".  So, it's 
doing exactly as you asked it to do (albeit, not what you "wanted").

and ....

The following entry is the one.  Note that it's ramp rate is 0.1s as you 
had specified.
