I had this same issue and found this thread very helpful: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=4259&forum=7

I used BK's "citrustrip" method (in that thread) which worked very well. Not all the dark stain came off, but I'd say 80-90% did. The remaining dark spots made my chair look a little more vintage.

I haven't tried, but I've read many posts recommending not to sand rattan.
