You're probably missing the haldaemon user account.

You can add it by hand:
Code: 
pw groupadd haldaemon -g 560
pw useradd haldaemon -u 560 -g 560 -d /nonexistent -s /sbin/nologin -c "HAL Daemon User"

The haldaemon is exists.
id haldaemon can return the uid and gid.
 
Is dbus running? Not sure if it would error like this if it isn't but it's worth a check.
