You probably just need to allow more stuff here; look at some examples 
e.g. NetworkManager. Also, you only allow for root, then below you say 
you're running the client as a normal user. So that won't work.

John, we really should try to improve that "no reply within specified 
time" error. Maybe something like "Method call did not receive a reply; 
either the called process is not sending a reply, or the bus policy did 
not allow it through" or something like that. It's certainly a popular faq.
