But it didn’t work either after temporarily downgrading hal to Testing version
either.

Works fine here too, also pumount’ing it, but once again unmounting via Thunar
fails with a similar error message.

devices, I only used Thunar since the day I discovered that it can mount devices
"just like that".

Well, all I can do is to provide this information, not much I can do about it
though.
