Just wanted to thank you for helping me resolve this on IRC.

For those that might be interested, I had at one point both the i386 and x86_64
packages for NetworkManager installed on my Fedora rawhide box. When I removed the
i386, it left a configuration file (/etc/dbus-1/service.conf) around that specified
execing a file out of /lib (rather than /lib64). Changing that path got me going.

Thanks Dan!

Note to self: be more careful with 'rpm -e'
