those are not device icons. they are links - that's all. device icons appear as
you insert a cd, dvd into a drive, plug in a thumbdrive or usb hdd, or insert
an sd card into a reader etc.

they work here on arch - have worked a charm ever since i can remember. i don't
know what's wrong with your system there, but it works for me.

could it be that your packages are broken? to mount requires root access.
enlightenment_sys should be setuid root to work. that is all i can imagine at
this point... though you should SEE icons on plugging in a removable device as
above regardless of permissions - this requires udev support and eeze support
in e - is your efl and/or e compiled without this support?
