Using Debian Squeeze, the file
is /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service

and it worked, thanks for your help. :)

Also, apologies for the misleading subject, though this issue doesn't
concern the Xfce volume manager it was the Xfce volume manager's use of
the notification daemon that made me want to disable notifications.

Again, many thanks,
