This looks like an SELinux configuration issue. What policy are you running?
selinux-policy-targeted 1.27.2-1 audit2why tells me this: type=AVC msg=audit(1130179827.147:154): avc: denied { read } for pid=1980 comm="dbus-daemon" scontext=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0 tclass=netlink_selinux_socket Was caused by: Missing or disabled TE allow rule. Allow rules may exist but be disabled by boolean settings; check boolean settings. You can see the necessary allow rules by running audit2allow with this audit message as input.
FIxed in selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.2-1
But if you look at my last comment: my machine is already at 1.27.2-1
should have been selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.2-2
