This is an error that happens when a software component registers itself
to be auto activated by dbus, but does not provide a user to start as in
it's config script.  See:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/tree/doc/system-activation.txt

You should be able to start ppmd manually (and I suspect it needs to be
run as root), before calling the command line utilities.  If not then
the config needs to be fixed.
