I don't fully know this code, but that doesn't sound right.
Your helper is running on the system bus, and shouldn't really have access to
the user's session bus at all.
Your client side ioslave will have connections to both busses, but only be
talking to the helper on the system bus.
With polkit you currently request something over DBus from a helper and you
get a reply back. What you're describing you want is exactly that, except the
reply happens a file descriptor. (which as you hint is a native DBus type) Why
do you need to register a service in the ioslave?

If this is on the client side, what stops any other (non authorised) client
listening to here?
