Yup, "Delete (Erase)" is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! FWIW, I have "Delete Immediately" in ~/Library/Services. It shows up under "All actions" in Quicksilver but if I look by type it doesn't show up under any of the types. Presumably the application is not telling Quicksilver in the expected fashion what type of input it (the "Delete Immediately" service) expects. The service runs find in the Finder; I think the reason I can edit it in Automator is likely that it's distributed as a binary, not some kind of Applescript.
