Confirmed that this bug is not related to /usr move. I'm working with
anaconda team now to try and get an anaconda that's actually capable of
completing a live install, with or without the /usr move stuff.

I'm not sure if anaconda uses udisks directly, or if it's something else
calling udisksd. The udisksd error may not actually have been the cause
of the anaconda crash, according to bcl.
