--- Comment #6 from Clark <xfce at that-clark.net> ---
My advice is use the same method to mount and unmount. So if you use the
terminal to mount, use it to unmount.

Thunar does not mount for me, so unmount is not a choice. 

Thunar as root does not show unmounted devices available for mount, so no mount
or unmount options.

For network, I use gigolo for both operations, thunar as user shows the mount
and does not as root.

This is really a feature request, not a bug. A summary is to include
non-usb-device and network share control? I think the hints of this
functionality are remnants from optical media and usb devices, 2 more
categories to add to the 3 below.

For convenience, you can enable the user to complete the commands passwordless,
and create luancher buttons to mount and dismount. I do this for guestmount
actions and looping a R-O copy of a running vm. This is similar to your case
maybe?

For devices, removables and docks, not usb, I use verve instead of a terminal,
sudo enabled for no password dialog, and call by-label.

For network mounts I use gigolo.
