Assuming that it was tripping on ~, I also tried:
# test for a fat client:
if [[ $(hostname | grep 'ltsp') == ltsp* ]]; then
sed 's/mount_removable=0/mount_removable=1/'
<$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf

# test for a thin client:

sed 's/mount_removable=1/mount_removable=0/'
<$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf

else
sed 's/mount_removable=0/mount_removable=1/'

I'm guessing that my file identification strings need fixing up, but
I'm such a poor scripter that this could only be one of several mistakes.
Check my homework?
Here is an improved upstart job (/etc/init/pcmanfm-ltsp.conf). The
script code is tested as working when run manually as a script, but it
was not effective as an upstart job. Perhaps environment variables like
$HOME are not available to upstart jobs even though this one doesn't run
until after the desktop session has started and $HOME should be defined
at that point.
But given that the code works as a script, I can probably get what I
want by setting that up with a desktop shortcut in an autostarting location.
# Edit pcmanfm Volume Management preferences at startup
#
# Set prefs based on whether the machine is a thin client or a
server/fat client
description "Edit pcmanfm Volume Management preferences based on machine
type"
start on desktop-session-start
script
# test for a fat client:
if [[ $(hostname | grep 'ltsp') == ltsp* ]]; then
sed -i 's/mount_removable=0/mount_removable=1/'
"$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf"
# test for a thin client:
elif [ -n "$LTSP_CLIENT" ]; then
sed -i 's/mount_removable=0/mount_removable=0/'

fi
end script
