First, I don't think they should be running at all inside a KDE session, 
only when you login in a GNOME session.

Second, try to guess what of the above services is the one monopolizing 
the volume manager and kill the process (maybe "gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor"?) 
then connect a USB flash or a CD medium to see what happens.

If that woks, you'll have to see a way to avoid loading the service at 
startup O:-)
