Does http://www.mail-archive.com/devkit-devel@lists.freedesktop.org/msg00814.html help you?

I had the same problem. First udisks was missing on my system and then I had to recompile kdebase with console-kit support.

Comment 2 Jim Jones 2010-12-28 15:38:33 UTC

i found the problem - i had to enable 
CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y
in the kernel ....

For the record: You also need to log in via KDM (or any other display manager). Otherwise Consolekit will not count your sesion as "local" and refuse any access to external devices.
