So, I installed gnome-settings-daemon and ran it, and the problem persisted. Furthermore, I have another i386 Natty system that runs a full Ubuntu desktop. On that other system, users-admin works without problems, and gnome-settings-daemon is installed and runs all the time. So I tried killing gnome-settings-daemon on that other system, and users-admin continued to work without problems.

But installing and running gnome-settings-daemon did enable me to complete your instructions. I ran:

export PID=`pidof gnome-settings-daemon`
pkcheck --action-id org.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set --allow-user-interaction --process $PID

The output was "Not authorized."
