Thanks to Everybody replying to my request, it is very appreciated. At the end 
the problem was I the D-Bus policy that I forgot to install. After adding it to 
the correct place the RAUC service started correctly.

Once more thank you all

Robert

You can increase logging verbosity be following [1].
