I'm writing a Tiger agent in Python and C which must run as root (it enforces policies on the user). The agent should, however, know which user it is enforcing (this is due to DiskArbitration's inability to create a 'global' Approval session affecting all users).

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?
