This is GNOME_VFS_ERROR_BAD_PARAMETERS, which typically means 
something returned EINVAL.

Did this error happen every time you tried it? It would be interesting to

nautilus keeps a fam watch on the trash dir. You should have been able to 
unmount it from nautilus though (then it removes the watch before 
unmounting).
