Are you able to mount the USB drive manually? Is it formatted as NTFS? Do you have gvfs installed? Need more information.

Re: xfce4 64bit gives failed to mount not authorized to perf
There's a transition now from udisks to udisks2, it might be the problem.
Do you run a display manager with it? Usually policykit should handle the mount authorization:
sudo leafpad /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
Take a look at the entries, usually there should be a bunch of <allow_active>yes</allow_active>

Re: xfce4 64bit gives failed to mount not authorized to perf
If you e.g. have LighDM installed as your display manager, it will handle the automounting, if not, you are responsible for it even if you say that you want automounting from the Xfce disk preferences.

Re: xfce4 64bit gives failed to mount not authorized to perf
yeah, xdm is not doing this authorization. LightDM, SLiM (IIRC) and gdm definitely do it.
..gnutella..
Re: xfce4 64bit gives failed to mount not authorized to perf
switched to lightdm & this fixed it .. Thnx
