Look in /etc/dbus-1/system.conf and /etc/dbus-1/system.d/*.conf to see
what rules are being applied. You'll probably need to either be
logged-in locally (according to ConsoleKit), or add yourself to some group.

On my Debian system, you can talk to bluez if you are root, a member of
the bluetooth group, or logged-in locally. Other OSs are likely to have
similar default policies.

Getting ConsoleKit working is the recommended thing here, to avoid
having to add yourself to 47 assorted groups to get all the desired
privileges for a local user.
