Chris, thanks for your reply.  Yes, Thunar works just fine browsing the
filesystem.  It's just that nothing automounts like it's supposed to, and
that includes both USB sticks and CDs.

Should I post this in freebsd-ports as well?  I don't want to double-post if
the port maintainers also monitor this list as well.  I may post in the
thunar or xfce mailing lists, but I think this is a FreeBSD issue since the
Thunar automounting works in various Linux distributions.

I would really like to get this to work, but scouring google hits and
mailing lists has turned up empty.  :(
