This is dbus-daemon saying that the rules in /etc/dbus-1/system.d don't allow
that user to call that method. I don't know why kdeinit is trying to unmount
a volume on logout, but dbus-daemon is just the messenger here - consider
reassigning to kdebase-bin?
In Debian's hal package, the users allowed to call methods on the Volume
interface are:
* those who are at the console, according to consolekit (if you have it)
* the plugdev Unix group
* root
See /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf for the gory details.

FYI, the unique name (thing that looks like :1.6) uniquely identifies a
connection to the bus, so it's expected that it varies between runs.
