46 xfce-base/thunar needs to have USE="udev" enabled and
47 xfce-extra/thunar-volman must be installed
48
49 i don't see thunar-volman in your list there
50
51 futhermore authorization from polkit/consolekit must be working, so you
52 must see 'active = TRUE' line when you run `ck-list-sessions` in your
53 Xfce's Terminal as a normal user, see this thread (first post of it):
54
55 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858965-start-0.html
56
57 and like said, xfce4-mount-plugin is irrelevant, and `mount` command
58 shouldn't be used at all for udisks maintained removable devices,
59 instead `udisksctl mount` should be used as a normal user if you really
60 want to mount from commandline
