I have the same problem on 2 computers.
If I start it from the terminal it gives no output and I also don't get back the prompt so it is running.
Code: [Select]
$ volumeicon
^C
$ volumeicon &
[1] 5111
$ ps | grep volumeicon
 5111 pts/7    00:00:00 volumeicon
So I guess the problem is with the panel in awesome.

Downgrading gdk-pixbuf2 temporarily solved the problem.

Do you use the package volumeicon, or does xfce have its own icon?  Maybe it's integrated in xfce?

Solved by update to glycin.

When I run volumeicon in a terminal, I don't get an error message, but the icon still doesn't appear in the panel.

I'm sorry, I was to fast to say it was solved yesterday. Today no icon again.
For me it's solved by recompiling gdk-pixbuf2 in the old way. They have put it in the aur now, gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin. I compiled it in the same way, but kept the name gdk-pixbuf2 to get updates from official repo. A lot of packages depend on it, and I prefer to loose the icon again than having a bigger crasch after update.

I worked around the problem by placing a launcher to qasmixer (it also works for alsamixer or pavucontrol) in the panel.
