Hi
Looks like you're hitting the PolicyKit problem, which is that your system
by way of PolicyKit treats your RDP session as "Inactive" - and hence you
will not gain superuser priveleges without editing the policy.
You can read my breif introduction to PolicyKit at
http://scarygliders.net/2012/06/20/a-brief-guide-to-policykit/ - it's
written with Debian/Ubuntu in mind but the priciples are exactly the same
Regards
Kevin.
