I also have this problem on Gentoo, with similar Xfce. Till some point
thunar-volman worked just fine, but lately it stopped recognising usb
sticks, and permanently fails on detecting Video DVDs (instead, it
tries to mount the latter, and fails with "Unknown file system
'udf'."; I have the DVD icon on the desktop, though).
