Yup, it is, probably a problem while bootstrapping.

Polkit-Qt* do not need to be installed to the same prefix. 99/100, if the
button is greyed out, is for one of the following reason:

 - You don't have the action file in your system. You seem like you do ,
however the action dir is the PolicyKit one. Can you please check kdelibs is
being built with Polkit-Qt as a backend and not with Polkit-Qt-1? (cmake says
it)
 - You don't have consolekit running, hence the default policy prevents you
from saving. Can you please check if your kdm has been compiled with consolekit
support? If you're logging in without kdm that's another story instead. If
that's the case you could:
  - Either spawn ck manually when launching kde (if you google around some
people do that)
  - Either change the system policies to let you authorize even if you're not
on any console.
