Im no chemist but its used as whats called a "setting agent". I guess the acid somehow sets the dye.

I was unsuccessful also
A few years ago I dyed a tail black with Rit. I heated up the dye solution as per instructions. I did not know about the vinager or the degreasing though I usually wash my bucktails with soap. My result was black enough, but the dye came off and blacken my hands when handling it. I have not tried since.

Get A.K.Best's book: "Dyeing and Bleaching Natural Fly-Tying Materials". Lots of good info and gives you the whole process.

Wash in woolite. Let dry. Make you solution of rit dye, heat to just before a boil. Add white vinagar and soak the tails or bucktails a few hours.... Let dry and your ready to go....

As long as we're on the topic.....
Has anyone ever tried sugar-free Kool Aid to dye bucktails? Read about that a while back, not even sure if it was serious. Anyone?
