Hi all,
Let me start by saying I've tried just about everything I've found through google but so far without any luck. I've even tried udiskie already.
xfce sees my external disk (USB) but won't let me mount it. "Failed to mount "160 GB Filesystem" "Not Authorized"
please tell me what you need to know so I can help you help me Thanks!

What command line are you using to start xfce?
Offline
The content of my /etc/skel/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
#exec startxfce4
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
udiskie &
~
The list of Daemons in rc.conf.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal network netfs crond sshd)

1. Do not use /etc/skel/.xinitrc Use $HOME/.xinitrc
2. you can probably remove hal from the daemons
3. are you using slim?
4. paste the output of ck-list-sessions

Also, if you want to use that, the udiskie line should be before the startxfce4 line.

1. Do not use /etc/skel/.xinitrc Use $HOME/.xinitrc
How do I do that? mv or cp it to the other location?
3. are you using slim?
Yes I am. Had an issue earlier with not being able to execute login commands or something like that.
4. paste the output of ck-list-sessions
Another thing I'd like to know how to do.

Have you already tried what's in the wiki under the section XFCE4.8 ? It works perfectly for me.

cp /etc/skel/.xinitrc $HOME/.xinitrc
If you don't have $HOME variable set try
cp /etc/skel/.xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

Did
cp /etc/skel/.xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
Replaced fam with gamin (XFCE page)
Put the udiskie line before the startxfce4 line
And had a look at the policy, applied the changes there as well
and it's now working
Thanks all!
I don't know which one exactly did the trick, but I'll find that out soon enough as I expect to break Arch sooner or later while I play with it and tweak it to death.
