Are you using 1.0.x? ANONYMOUS is new in the development release 
(1.1.whatever)

If you omit any <auth> I think all non-anonymous mechanisms are used by 
default, not sure. That would include DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1.

For the user that launched the bus, if you connect to localhost, 
DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 should work because both client and server can read the 
cookie file from the user's home directory.

However, DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 won't work between machines unless they share 
home directories via NFS or whatever.
