Yes, that works now, thanks! Also the error messages are now a lot cleaner
and more "in line" with the rest of systemctl.

I still can't edit autovt@tty1.service (other instances work correctly), but
I guess that's another problem. However, the error message could be improved
by querying the manager for LoadFailed and displaying that message instead
of just saying "does not have any files on disk". I'll try to come up with a 
patch
for that.

BTW, would it be good to have a LoadFailedErrno property or something in that 
line
to get an errno instead of a string? Or is it better to convert string to errno
using sd_bus_error_*() methods?

I'm sorry for too many questions :P

Thanks,
