Sebastion, I stumbled onto a personal experience that might help in nailing this down. I can certainly understand how frustrating this can be to solve when you aren't experiencing the same problem yourself.
It all seems to be centered around my USB jump drive. When an item is deleted from the jump drive, a .Trash folder is created on the jump drive. Right now, my jump drive has items in it's .Trash folder. If I insert my jump drive, as soon as it's automounted, my tash applet is suddenly full. If I click on it, it shows the contents of the .Trash folder on the jump drive. For some strange reason, when I unmount the jump drive, the applet never changes back to pointing to my ~/.Trash folder. Why we need .Trash on jump drives is beyond me. Please note that my jump drive is automounted and I always right-click on it and select eject, then wait for the icon to disappear from the desktop before removing it. Best of luck!
