[SOLVED] Prevent /boot/efi - partitition to be shown

Hi guys,
I've been a linux user for some years (Ubuntu, Mint, Debian) and and changed recently my distro to Arch (quite awesome btw.!).
Unfortunately, I'm facing a problem I can't solve even with googling over one hour around:
Strange thing is, neither on my Debian, nor on my Mint installation the EFI-partition itself was shown on desktop / in file managers as a removable drive (like it was mounted in /media ) but on my current Arch installation it is.
I've read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ud … partitions and created first a new udev - rule by hand:

cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-hidePartitions.rules

ENV{ID_FS_UUID}="2CF9-C226", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"

And reloaded the rules by

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger

, followed by a reboot to be sure, as well.

This didn't change anything.
So I removed that manually created udev-rule and copied over /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks2.rules into /etc/udev/rules.d/ as suggested in the archwiki article mentioned above, but this didn't change anything, too.

Do you have any idea why the udev rules don't work or what can I do to prevent the efi-partion being shown in my desktop environment?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Additional info:
Freshly installed Arch and up-to-date with XFCE

*edit*
Oh, ok, found it:
The error was in

ENV{ID_FS_UUID}="2CF9-C226", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"

instead of

[ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="2CF9-C226", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
