I had this issue as well while trying to use "System -> Administration
-> Services" with a user/member of the 'admin' group, using VNC and LTSP
clients.

Please see comment #14 at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8001955#post8001955 for my
workaround.

This seems to be a default Ubuntu polkit policy issue (for many things,
it seems Ubuntu wants you to be on the actual system console and not
logged in remotely via any means)... I don't understand this as it would
be trivial to trick PolKit into thinking you're logged in locally even
if you're not.
