You're running etch. etch's thunar does not depend on, and probably can't use thunar-volman. http://packages.debian.org/etch/thunar tells us that it suggests hal and pmount. This is likely what handles automounting for thunar. You should make sure these are installed.

To get sid packages, you'd have to add a sid source and then do aptitude update. *BUT* I'm not advocating that *at all*. Don't do it. Use etch backports to get packages that aren't in etch. until you have better knowledge of debian systems, mixing sid with etch is a bad idea. A
