When you plug in the drive, is it automounted, and just not shown in
thunar, or is it not mounted at all?  Further, I assume by *any* user,
that includes the root user?

Unfortunately, I think you're getting outside my knowledge base -- all
I can think of is some wild-ass guesses as to the problem.
