[SOLVED] Can't connect to server in Nemo

On a new Arch installation, when I try to connect to a server through the menu in Nemo file-manager, it gives me the error: "Can't load the supported server method list. Please check your gvfs installation."

[USER@HOST ~]$ pacman -Qs gvfs
local/gvfs 1.24.1-1
    Userspace virtual filesystem implemented as a pluggable module for gio
local/gvfs-afc 1.24.1-1
    AFC (mobile devices) backend for gvfs
local/gvfs-afp 1.24.1-1
    Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) backend for gvfs
local/gvfs-goa 1.24.1-1
    Gnome Online Accounts (webservices) backend for gvfs
local/gvfs-gphoto2 1.24.1-1
    gphoto2 (PTP camera/MTP media player) backend for gvfs
local/gvfs-mtp 1.24.1-1
    MTP backend for gvfs
local/gvfs-smb 1.24.1-1
    SMB/CIFS (Windows client) backend for gvfs

There is also sshfs installed (it's mentioned here).

I don't know if this is relevant, but I use devmon from udevil for automounting devices.
It's started from within my ~/.xinitrc-file which I use to start X and i3.

In many forums of Debian-based distributions people say it needs a package called gvfs-backends for connecting to servers. But this is not available from the repositories.

SSH from CLI works without any issues.

Thanks in advance for your help!

UPDATE:
I found out, that if I start nemo with "dbus-launch nemo", everything works and I also can remove udevil.
I don't know if this solution is "dirty", but it works...
