How you are trying to set time? As I wrote above - if through
'System->Administration->Date&Time' than _that_ will ask you for a
root password. But it turns out that this is not the only way you
can set clock from your desktop.

Could you, please, post an output from the following shell script:
for a in settimezone settime configurehwclock ; do
polkit-action --action org.gnome.clockapplet.mechanism.$a
done
The only interesting parts are really default_active. If that says
"auth_self_keep_always", which is a "factory default", then you do
need a root password for these changes but you have to do them
differently than you tried.
I guess that I should walk through the whole output of
'polkit-action' and see what else interesting I can find there.
