You could try using dbus-monitor to see what's going on. Put it in the
background and forward it's output to some file.

dbus-monitor > debugfile.txt &

When you're done bring it back up and terminate it

fg
[ctrl+c]

Notice that the dbus-monitor produces quite alot of output.

Otherwise if you're executing the command as user it should work. At least
I'm out of ideas.
