[SOLVED] systemd & sabnzbd weirdness

My SABnzbd service starts and runs fine--but I can't stop it, restart it or check it's status via systemctl:

Here it is running: http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6673/5f48.png

But here's what happens when I try and check it's status:

$ systemctl --user status sabnzbd
Failed to issue method call: Process /bin/false exited with status 1
[wilberfan@arch32 ~]$ systemctl status sabnzbd
sabnzbd.service - SABnzbd binary newsreader
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/sabnzbd.service; disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

I've read that that "/bin/fase exited with status 1" means that systemd is NOT running as --user, but as far as I can tell, it is:

So, any idea what's going on?  What am I missing here??

Re: [SOLVED] systemd & sabnzbd weirdness

Well, it turns out systemd was not running as user--at least not properly.

I didn't see this as I updated my systemd (from the wiki)

Note:
Since version 207, systemd uses a different PAM module for user@.service, and includes an incorrect default PAM config. Fix it with: # sed -i s/system-auth/system-login/g /etc/pam.d/systemd-user (or replace all occurrences of system-auth in that file with system-login).
system-login needs to start pam_systemd: it should contain -session optional pam_systemd.so; check if a .pacnew file exists.

Running that sed command fixed the problem.
