So polkit support was indeed included. As I recall (I didn't keep a copy of the 
original error), you were getting something like "polkit is an unknown 
authroization method". That means that the running brltty doesn't include 
polkit support. Does your brltty log show that you were indeed running the 5.5 
that you'd built?

You said that it worked with 5.4. One of the changes in 5.5 was that polkit 
authorization became enabled by default - it wasn't enabled by default in 5.4.
