Now I'm lost, and I have no idea what is your situation. But definitely
changing stuff in /usr/share is not a good idea. The genuine exec line
is:

Exec=thunar-volman-settings

so if it wasn't that, then this was a problem on your box, not in the
package.

Maybe check a backup of your /usr/share/applications folder if you have
that.

In any case, that doesn't look like a bug in xfce4-settings or
thunar-volman but more like a local issue, so I'm inclined to just close
it.
