I did have thunar-volman installed, and the same thing was happening. I removed it to verify it wasn't thunar-volman causing the issue.

I have consolekit and policykit installed, and spent several hours debugging that new level of complexity as well. I used to use startxfce4, and had to switch to using startx with 'exec ck-launch-session startxfce4' in $HOME/.xsession to make mounting (and suspend/hibernate) work at all in the new model. I have verified that my console session is correct (via ck-list-sessions) and that I have the correct authorizations as well (via polkit-auth).

The only way I have been able to reproduce the error consistently is by running thunar as a daemon, mounting a USB device (by clicking on it in thunar), unmounting it (by right-clicking on it in thunar), unplugging it, plugging it back in, and trying to mount it again (by clicking on it in thunar).

If the thunar daemon is terminated, and thunar is started manually from a
terminal or from the xfce4 menu instead, this error does not occur.

Hmhm, strange. I see you don't use thunar-volman (this is fine). Hal is
installed, but are consolekit and policykit installed too? Do you start
Xfce using a display manager, startx, startxfce4, something like that?
