Can you launch,
xfdesktop-settings
in console, and display any messages?

Then result of xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -l
 
Code:
% xfdesktop-settings

(xfdesktop-settings:1056): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.vfs.HalVolumeMonitor is not supported
fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format

(xfdesktop-settings:1056): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.vfs.GPhoto2VolumeMonitor is not supported

Code:

No more ideas?!

I have just tested, and backdrop cycle is working. At first I thought that it's monitoring problem.

Try to reset your changes:

Code:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p / -rR

Then re-launch xfdesktop-settings, without enabled random number.

I know, there are changes in upstream repository, which fix backdrop settings. But it's not easy to track down, because new hidden option was introduced (for animation files).
