Yes, I agree. > I am actually suprised > you are able to do what you can top, as for me that does not work. > Most file operations (like cp) just fail with “operation not > permitted” in .Trash.

There was a time for awhile that I too could not perform operations - even a simple 'ls' while in the Terminal in ~/.Trash. This got resolved with newer operating systems. I think enough people complained to Apple. I suspect that Apple thought it was a security hole, but if you have access to the trash, you pretty much have everything else anyway. So I suspect that you have an old operating system. If you can upgrade you should be able to use unix commands in the ~/.Trash. My solution was to add a feature to my code that let me specify that I want the downloaded files to go to /tmp instead of ~/.Trash and that solved the issue.
