Do you have an authentication agent running? If not, try starting

 /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

manually and check again (running 'pkexec bash' as an unprivileged user
is a great way to check that everything is set up correctly). It's also
useful to run polkitd from a root shell and look at the debug output.

If you can't get it to work, then please open a bug at
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ and supply details like what distribution
you are using and what versions of polkit (and polkit-gnome) this is
about. Thanks.
