That's your problem, I guess. You not only need polkitd daemon running,
but you also need a "PolicyKit authentication agent" in your user
session, which is responsible for show the authentication dialogs.
Such a service is e.g. provided by gnome-shell (if you use GNOME 3), by
kdebase-workspace (if you use KDE) or
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 (from policykit-1-gnome).

The policykit-1-gnome package uses an xdg autostart file. Most likely
your xmonad WM does not read that autostart files, so you need to start
/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
manually.
