You have been subscribed to a public bug:
nautilus incorrectly says that it can't move files from trash if the
free space on the drive is less than the size of the files to move. An
equivalent mv command works, however.
eg. on a 100 MB drive with 10 MB free, you can't move a 20 MB file from
the trash - nautilus says that only 10 MB is free.
Of course there *is* enough free space, since the file is already
occupying all the space it needs, so the command line move works:
mv /drive/.Trash-1000/20MB-file /drive/folder-it-was-trashed-from/20MB-
file
In the case I tried, /drive was a internal hard drive mounted via fstab.
