Does your external drive show up under the "devices' tab in Rhythmbox? 
My understanding is that mp3 player show up under devices but an 
external disk doesn't unless you have a special file in the root (just 
checked and my external drive does not show up under devices). Do you 
have your external drive specified in the music library location or do 
you treat it like an external MP3 player? If you have your main library 
there we have no problem as that would come under the main library rule 
- move to trash and remove options. If you have it come up under devices 
then maybe we need an option for each device to set whether that device 
uses a recycle bin or does a hard delete.
