Is there something wrong with the default dbus policy?

I checked my /var/log/messages but don't see any polkit errors.

Don't know if it is worth mentioning, I do have

polkitd_enable="YES"

in my /etc/rc.conf

and auto mounting of usb flash drives in gnome is working. I do
however get kernel panics if I poke FreeBSD with a stick (usb) of 4GB 
and 8GB. A 1GB stick is accepted without problems though.

Has anyone else noticed this? (I'm running FreeBSD 8 stable AMD64)
