I have no clue about polkit but after searching in the internet it seems that
doing the following fixes this problem:

$ cat << END | sudo tee /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla
[Actions for kodi user]
Identity=unix-user:kodi
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.*;org.freedesktop.udisks2.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes
END

Maybe this helps!

In the worst case I now have documented a solution/workaround for others who
might also stumble over this problem :)

Thanks!

cheers, josch
