Default Are you quattro or FWD, Judging by your sig you are quattro but I don't see the grill badge.
I have FWD and there are ABS rings that have to be transferred to the new rotors. If they left these off or didn't seat them all the way you would have problems. I don't know how quattro is set up though, I'm guessing that it is similar to the front assemblies.

Default I am willing to bet $$$ your ABS sensors are dirty in the back causing the light to trip
I'd go back and double check things and make sure everythign is clean.

Did you transfer the ABS sensor ring from the old rotor to the new rotor?
