Here comes the the magic formula, IIRC ;)

Your user has to be in group plugdev.

udisks USE flag for xfce-base/thunar must be set.

The USB-device may NOT have a config line in /etc/fstab.

To enable/disable automounting look at thunars menu:
edit -> settings -> advanced-settings -> volume-management (checkbox)
