New issue 63 by signupna...@gmail.com: trash-put: trash: cannot trash
regular empty file `test': [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/.Trash-1000'
http://code.google.com/p/trash-cli/issues/detail?id=63
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. touch /tmp/test
2. trash-put /tmp/test
trash-put: trash: cannot trash regular empty file `test': [Errno 13]
Permission denied: '/.Trash-1000'
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect a silent deleting of the program. See this error:
trash-put: trash: cannot trash regular empty file `test': [Errno 13]
Permission denied: '/.Trash-1000'
As root, it will delete normally without error.
If sudo makes /.Trash-1000 for the user, as expected the error goes away.

It seems as if it is treating the root filesystem onto which /home is mount
as a removable drive hence wanting a trash folder for each user (but of
course a regular user has no right permissions for the root directory).
Root works because it's "home" location is on this root filesystem, not the
home partition where the regular users are.
I checked to see if the reverse is true, and it is similar. Root
trash-put-ing something in the home directory gives no error and makes a
/home/.Trash-0 folder.

Dear Narnie
I think I figured out the problem.
Currently trash-cli always trashes files moving they in a trash directory
of the same volume.
In your case the /tmp/test file belongs to the "/" volume. Unfortunately in
this volume there isn't any trash directory and none can be created (since
$HOME is on a different volume).
The trash spec address this issue letting the administrator create a
directory with the sticky bit in the $topdir of volumes that should support
trashing.
The following command should solve your issue:
sudo mkdir --mode=1777 /.Trash
Please let me know if works
Andrea
