The plug order matters. The 'mount' command tells what device is mounted  
where.

I think it is normal that ~/.gvfs remains empty. When I plug a USB key, it is  
automounted but ~/.gvfs remains empty.


Use the default locale to run the command so that you can then search the Web  
with the error message in English:

$ LC_ALL=C gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdb1

The groups you are in look OK. My user is not in "disk" but being in more  
groups should not be the problem.

I do not have anything related to GVFS or Polkit in this list either. And I  
do not have line including "mount" (i.e., 'initctl list | grep mount' does  
not return anything). On the contrary, you have all these lines that may be  
related to your problem:

mountall-net stop/waiting
mountnfs-bootclean.sh start/running
idmapd-mounting stop/waiting
mountall.sh start/running
mounted-var stop/waiting
mounted-proc stop/waiting
statd-mounting stop/waiting
mountall stop/waiting
mounted-debugfs stop/waiting
mountkernfs.sh start/running
mounted-run stop/waiting
mountnfs.sh start/running
gssd-mounting stop/waiting
mountdevsubfs.sh start/running

mountall-reboot stop/waiting
mountall-shell stop/waiting

Is gvfsd running?

You can use 'ps' to "report a snapshot of the current processes" (the 'man'  
page description) and 'grep' to filter the output. On my system:

$ ps x | grep gvfsd
16276 ?Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd
16299 ?Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-fuse /run/user/1000/gvfs -f -o

It does not look right to have twice the same daemon running.

Did you check whether there is a flag to turn on/off automount in Thunar. The  
key named "automount" in "org.gnome.desktop.media-handling" does that for  
Nautilus and can be set with dconf-editor or through the following command  
(but already is true by default):

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount true
