[Solved] Removable devices in xfce4 do not show up.

I am trying xfce4, but I have trouble with removable devices. They do not show up at all in thunar. Just nothing. No error messages, nothing. I have installed gvfs. Does anyone have success with them? I am completely out of ideas now. Every settings related to them is enabled (in thunar there is an option, "enable volume management") and I have tested the situation with a new test user (to be sure there are no weird settings lying around in the home folder).  All is working fine with KDE.

Edit: I see the following errors in ~/.xsession-errors (standard output of the xfce4 session). It seems that the bugs has been reported upstream.

thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unknown block device type.
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.

Edit: Solved: I had an corresponding entry in fstab, just delete it and everything works.

How are you starting your XFCE session?

I have tried with lxdm and also with startx (and the standard .xinitrc from /etc/skel with startxfce4 uncommented) from the console and there is no difference.
