Right, now your error makes sense. PackageKit doesn't really support
adding and removing repos like this. Put bluntly, it's a hack, and I'm
surprised it even worked in yum.

Are you assuming that the UID of the yum process is going to be
different for each user? PackageKit runs yum as root in a very secure
clean environment. Without looking at the actual source of your
plugin, I can't really tell that from your examples.
