Yes, you need to ensure that the dbus permissions file is in the right
place (usually /etc/dbus-1/system.d/) and that it's configured correctly
for your distribution.  For example, debian-based distros use
group-based dbus authentication, and the default config file uses
at_console permissions.  Try looking around for the file that
debian/ubuntu use for NM 0.6.x and try copying that.
