You mean there's nothing else printed than:

when you click on time-admin's lock button?!

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

It looks like PolicyKit doesn't allow a non-root user to check for authorizations; or polkit-gtk passes details that are not allowed for a non-root user.
