Ran across the issue in lucid 10.04. Could not delete a picture from a
different partition in the same harddrive (NTFS-formatted). The drive is
mounted so that my user account has read/write access to it.

Workaround: Made a .Trash-1000 folder manually to the partition root
directory (my UID is 1000). Now the error message changed to a warning
message, but I could delete the picture. The warning message is: "A
wastebasket for (IMGNAME) couldn't be found. Do you want to remove this
image permanently?"

The bug could still use patching, since by the original error messages
"Are you sure you want to move (IMGNAME) to the Deleted Items folder?"
and "Error on deleting image (IMGNAME) - Couldn't access Deleted Items
folder." aren't too informative in creating the workaround folder to
say, an external SD-stick while browsing newly taken pictures.
