polkit is treating “local users” and “active local users” differently
(precisely so that users who are physically able to insert or remove a disk
can mount/unmount it). A cron job is, I expect, classified as neither a
local user nor as an active local user.
I’m afraid I don’t think there are standalone format validators / testing
tools for the permission files; check system logs, and output of polkitd to
stdout/stderr (running it without --no-debug, and perhaps with
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all in the environment).
