Comment 1 for bug 705571

Paul, can you try bind mounting the system's /var/run/dbus into <chroot>/var/run/dbus and running l-m-c again? That should workaround this issue. (got this idea from http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-October/012380.html)

A proper fix might involve switching from UDisks to running fdisk and/or other commands directly and parsing their output, which is far from optimal so it'd be great if we could find an acceptable way to workaround this on chroots.
