How are you starting xfce - with startx or a display manager? I had similar problems when using slim, but not with gdm3 or lightdm. gdm3 has more dependencies so I currently use lightdm.

1- As root create the file /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/55-myconf.pkla

2- Add inside

[Storage Permissions]
Identity=unix-group:storage
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount;org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-eject;org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-detach;org.freedesktop.udisks.luks-unlock;org.freedesktop.udisks.inhibit-polling;org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-set-spindown
ResultAny=yes
ResultActive=yes
ResultInactive=no

3- Add your user in STORAGE group. If Storage does not exist, you must create it.

# addgroup storage
# usermod -a -G storage USERNAME

Just a heads up, I have multiple machines with testing + XFCE, and this is a slim-specific issue. If you use a different login manager (like lightdm or gdm), it registers the user as "active" and then the active protocols in policykit take over. Slim, for some reason, does not do that, which is why you need to set power, udisk, etc policykits to allow_any yes. By setting them this way, it is potentially a large security risk. Also, slim isn't in development anymore.
