locate/updatedb - No NTFS drives from Thunar/udisks2

Hallo,
i mount NTFS partitions on-demand with Thunar/udisks2. None of these partitions get ever catalogued by 'updatedb'. I'm wondering why.

I'm aware that partitions not available during 'updatedb' will be completely removed from the database but even when the drives are present and i enforce an 'updatedb' there is no data from that drive in the database. The filesystem in /etc/mtab is 'fuseblk' and its not blacklisted in the conf file under PRUNEFS or PRUNEPATH (/run/media/...).

Anyone know why these partitions don't get catalogued?

$ cat /etc/updatedb.conf
PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS = "yes"
PRUNEFS = "9p afs anon_inodefs auto autofs bdev binfmt_misc cgroup cifs coda configfs cpuset cramfs debugfs devpts devtmpfs ecryptfs exofs ftpfs fuse fuse.encfs fuse.sshfs fusectl gfs gfs2 hugetlbfs inotifyfs iso9660 jffs2 lustre mqueue ncpfs nfs nfs4 nfsd pipefs proc ramfs rootfs rpc_pipefs securityfs selinuxfs sfs shfs smbfs sockfs sshfs sysfs tmpfs ubifs udf usbfs vboxsf"
PRUNENAMES = ".git .hg .svn"
PRUNEPATHS = "/afs /media /mnt /net /sfs /tmp /udev /var/cache /var/lib/pacman/local /var/lock /var/run /var/spool /var/tmp"

$ cat /etc/mtab
/dev/sda9 /run/media/user/Volume1 fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0
/dev/sda8 /run/media/user/Volume2 fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0

Try removing fuse from the PRUNEFS option.

Hmm, its not any fuse at all. It's the 'tmpfs' entry on PRUNEFS. Weird.

$ mount
...
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,mode=755)
...

Makes sense. Mountpoints are not start/parent points here.
Thanks.
