Just a guess, but perhaps you have an external storage device that has
a "thrash folder" on it with no write permission.

Try shutting down gOS, removing all external storage devices, then
booting again. If the trash now empties then that was the problem.

I found a similar answer in the ubuntu forums here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=997383&highlight=delete+trash+password

you can search the ubuntu fora yourself with the search key I used
"delete trash password"

Just for the uninitiated who now may think you need a password to
empty the trash-can on gOS, be assured you normally don't need to!
