udisks is already the newest version.

I did some more testing with a Canon PowerShot A570IS camera (USB
interface) just now:
1. (Xfce XMouse?) -> Settings -> Removable Drives and Media -> Storage
-> Removable Storage -> all boxes unchecked.
2. Open Thunar and Shotwell.
2. Plug in Canon PowerShot A570IS camera via USB. Camera does not
change to USB connected state. No desktop icon. Nothing in Thunar.
However, an entry appears for the camera in the left pane of Shotwell.
3. Select camera in Shotwell. Camera goes to USB connected state.
Shotwell accesses camera and displays thumbnails in right pane. Nothing
on desktop. Nothing in Thunar.
Therefore, something is broken for the Xfce desktop and Thunar -- I
expected a camera icon on the desktop and a camera entry in the left
pane of Thunar at steps #2 and #3. Shotwell seems okay.
I also did some testing with two different USB flash drives and obtained
the same results:
1. (Xfce Mouse?) -> Settings -> Removable Drives and Media -> Storage
-> Removable Storage -> all boxes unchecked.
2. Open Thunar.
3. Plug in USB flash drive. Drive icon appears on desktop. Drive
entry appears in left pane of Thunar.
4. Desktop icon context menu has option to mount drive; don't invoke it.
5. Select drive in left pane of Thunar. Drive contents displayed in
right pane.
6. Desktop icon context menu on desktop now has option to eject drive.
Therefore, everything seems to be working correctly with Xfce and Thunar
for USB flash drives.
I also did some testing on another Wheezy/Xfce machine with a Seagate
FreeAgent Xtreme external hard disk drive via USB and eSATA -- nothing
on desktop or in Thunar.
Therefore, it seems that whatever Xfce/ Debian/ Linux subsystem
underlies Thunar works for USB flash drives, but not for the camera or
for the external hard disk drive.
Another clue -- hot-plug for the external hard drive stoppled working
around Sept. 3, when I did a BIOS update. I seem to recall a kernel
update around the same time.
