problems with nmcli (PolicyKit .service file missing)

Hello,
I want to start my VPN with nmcli but it seems to have problems with PolicyKit.
Here the output with any "nmcli ..." command:

$ nmcli con up id <VPN...>
Usage: nmcli connexion_name start|stop
---Available Connections:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings was not provided by any .service files
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings was not provided by any .service files
---Active Connections:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Property "ServiceName" of interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Connection.Active" isn't exported (or may not exist)
process 1243: arguments to dbus_message_set_destination() were incorrect, assertion "destination == NULL || _dbus_check_is_valid_bus_name (destination)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 3354.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

Networkmanger via nm-applet doesn't make any problems (I start networkmanager with systemd every boot) and connecting to my VPN also works.

And this is what "NetworkManager --nodaemon" tells me:

$ sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon

It seems to have problems with connection to dbus daemon.

I hope you can tell me what this means and how to fix it.

Thanks in advance,
