The first thing is the being kicked out and not logging in. The other issue is that there is no error message (for example "Access Denied") or anything before being punted back to the desktop manager.
This looks like a lightdm issue more than xfce-session? If you switch to gdm does it work?
This looks like it might be a duplicate of bug 903828 in selinux-policy.
