It seems to me, however, that we do not know if this message is really
related to your problem, since you never tried to run pmount-hal
yourself before thunar started acting up (if I understand you
correctly).
Maybe it is still worthwhile to check a few elementary things: What
happens if a newly-created user with clean xfce and thunar profiles runs
the xfce session and a USB stick is plugged in? If things still go
wrong, is there anything interesting logged in ~/.xsession-errors?
