I think the next thing to try is what happens if your run (as your
normal user)
pmount-hal /dev/sda1
(Change /dev/sda1 to the correct device node of the filesystem.) If
this
works without errors, run "mount" to see which mount point was chosen.
Also check if you can unmount the stick (again as your normal user)
with
pumount /dev/sda1
That's good. My user can mount it with pmount-hal at /media/adam for
one stick, and /media/usbstick for another, and pumount it again. So
that is probably the command that Thunar issues.
It also gives me this message:
libhal-storage.c 1401 : INFO: called LIBHAL_FREE_DBUS_ERROR but
dbusError was not set.
process 23617: Applications must not close shared connections - see
dbus_connection_close() docs. This is a bug in the application.
Perhaps this is an indication that there's something wrong still
which prevents the system from executing pmount-hal automatically.
It seems that you are not the only one having this problem, and it is
not limited to thunar:

Do you have a completely up-to-date system? (kernel, udev, hal, libhal1,
libhal-storage1, dbus, libdbus-*)
