Hi,

I had a very similar problem. After investigating it for a while, I found out that the problem was caused by "/lib/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper" having the wrong permissions - its group ownership was root instead of dbus.

After doing:
   # chgrp dbus /lib/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
   # chmod u+s /lib/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
Connman started to play nicely.

I don't know what causes the ownership problem. I didn't peek into dbus packaging yet. Could be some problem with mic-image-creator and images of the 'fs' type(?)
