I'm guessing that if you disable harddisk monitoring on your system
monitor applet it will stop?

Also, are you logging in as root?  It's strange that it's looking in
/run/user/0.  $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to /run/user/$UID and $UID it
usually around 1000.  I suspect that part of the problem is that your
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set correctly or permissions on that directory
are not set correctly.
