You have severar possibilities to disable appearing of window on taskbar:
1. set WindowListSkip flag for that window in your $HOME/.xfce/xfwmrc file
(see http://www.xfce.org/help/html/adv-wm-style.html). Make also sure you do
NOT have 'Option NO_WindowListSkip' in your $HOME/.xfce/taskbarrc file
2. use 'Taskjar' option in your 'taskbarrc' file. It automatically moves all
windows matching given pattern to 'taskjar' (rightmost small button on
taskbar). I think it's better than using WindowListSkip, because it affects
only taskbar and you still have access to that window (through taskjar).
Example of 'Taskjar' option is
 Taskjar xmms
or
 Taskjar xmm*
