I spent some time yesterday with the arch wiki and I have an idea.
assuming you're using %desktop-services, inside services:

(modify-services %desktop-services
  (udev-service-type config =>
                     (udev-configuration
                     (inherit config)
                     (rules (list lvm2 fuse alsa-utils crda btrfs)))))

Perhaps adding the udev rules for btrfs will force it to run 'btrfs
device scan' or whatever the magic is that it apparently isn't running
now.
