In your usecase, do you have a /var/volatile? 
/var/volatile/log/ConsoleKit? Could you please be more specific in the 
layout of your /var and in the error/trace of consolekit on your side?

I'd really like to solve this somehow as for now I have a broken SDK 
generation (at it seems it's not my fault as other people on ML 
suggested that they experienced errors with meta-toolchain-gmae).
