My apologies, I'm unable to reproduce the behavior I saw earlier with 'user-specific' DAApprovalSessionRef. I haven't the faintest how it happened, maybe a bug in some other part of my code and I jumped to conclusions. Anyhow, if I hit an obstacle, I'd re-raise the issue with the list.
Still, I'd be interested in knowing how can I provide username based variables in launchd's plists, if at all possible.
Thanks and apologies again,

It seems like this is where you're getting into trouble. DiskArb is
a daemon-safe framework. I believe it should be possible for a
daemon to implement a DAApprovalSessionRef that affects all mounts on
the system. Can you explain how you tried to do that and what went
wrong?
