It seems those modules are no longer present:

these updates are pretty recent - so I think the module src should be there I guess - right?
maybe archlinux kernel & module package (compilation) misses this module somehow?

Sanity check. You are running the 3.8.7-1 kernel.
What does pacman -Qi linux say you have installed? (My machine is up to 3.8.8-1)

g_file_storage or g_mass_storage module is not found in 3.8.8-2 as well

I'm guessing the arch devs decided to leave them out because of stuff like this:
Many Linux systems will not be able to use it, since they only have PC-style USB Host (master) hardware in a PC, workstation, or server.

To get an official response, post a feature request in the bugtracker asking for them to be included.
