NetworkManagerUserSettings is a server, not a client. (It's a design
quirk of NM which was eliminated in NM 0.9)
You should create only one for the daemon, not for each conection
attempt.

Please be warned that cnetworkmanager is obsolete as upstream now
includes its own CLI, nmcli (written in C, since about NM 0.8.1). I
haven't updated cnetworkmanager for the API changes of NM 0.9.
