151a8 has multiple problems with privileges, one group comes from an
upstream change with libdbus, the other from an error in JDS/Gnome.
Don't know if that can be fixed by root at all, at least mounting
can be done by hand with pfexec or sudo, of you have the necessary
admin privilege.
Other than that, hope that the next release will fix the errors.
