Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I have a second partition mounted at /data.
If I move a file to the trash on this partition Nautilus warns me that the file 
can't be move to the trash and will be deleted instead.

To fix it I only had to create /data/.Trash-$USER and sudo chown me:me
/data/.Trash-$USER and Nautilus started using the trash on this
partition immediately.

I think that Ubuntu/Nautilus should create the .Trash-$USER if
required/during setup. In fact it does with USB sticks, SD cards, etc.
which is not to anyones liking (see bug 12893 )

(Maybe there is the need to request sudo permission from the user
depending on the mount point/owner of the partition)
