Exactly. Remote sessions do not get a ConsoleKit entry (since they are
not on a physical console), and g-s-t currently does not allow
administration from remote places [1]

You should be able to change that using System -> Administration ->
Authorizations, freedesktop -> systemtoolsbackends -> Manage system
configuration, Edit, allow for anyone (Admin authentication).
