How/where are you launching udiskie or whatever?  It needs to be within the
same ConsoleKit session; the display managers you mentioned arrange for the
entire user session to be in a CK session, but if you do it yourself you
may need to arrange for your whole .xsession or equivalent to be in a CK
session.

$ mv .xsession .xsession-real
$ cat > .xsession
#! /bin/sh
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch $HOME/.xsession-real
^D
$ chmod +x .xsession .xsession-real

And xmonad and any additional programs are then run from .xsession-real.
