> Doe PolicyKit in general work? What happens if you run "pkexec /bin/true"?
I believe it works but I am unsure where it comes into play in my daily routine; I do a lot on the command line when it comes to updates, networking tasks, etc.

#jthomas at jthomas:16:11:~$ pkexec /bin/true
#
#jthomas at jthomas:16:11:~$ 

That ^^ pops up a box asking for root's password; when entered the box goes away.

On my home computer, which is about the same Sid but not quite as updated, the file at
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
has one of the two changes in it (allow_active), and I didn't make any PolicyKit changes on that machine:

  <action id="org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount">
    <description>Mount a device</description>
    <description xml:lang="da">Montér en enhed</description>
    <description xml:lang="de">Gerät einhängen</description>
    <message>Authentication is required to mount the device</message>
    <message xml:lang="da">Autorisering er påkrævet for at montere et fil system</message>
    <message xml:lang="de">Zugriffsrechte werden benötigt um das Gerät einzuhängen</message>
    <defaults>
      <allow_any>no</allow_any>
      <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
      <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
    </defaults>
  </action>
