Looks like you're missing quite a few fields in the JSON you post to the 
server. I'd consider it a bug that this doesn't return a 400 with a 
description of which fields are missing.

Anyway, you can play with this stuff in `shef`:

chef > new_role = Chef::Role.new
=> role[] 
chef > new_role.name("my-new-role")
=> "my-new-role" 
chef > new_role.to_json
=> 
"{\"name\":\"my-new-role\",\"description\":\"\",\"json_class\":\"Chef::Role\",\"default_attributes\":{},\"override_attributes\":{},\"chef_type\":\"role\",\"run_list\":[],\"env_run_lists\":{}}"
