How funny this is .... I just ran into the same problem today at work. Got it all figured out now. Seems as though they have changed the directory of the trash with Hardy Heron, I was used to it being in /home/username/.trash but now it is in (as Nick came so close to) /home/username/.local/share/Trash/files - so if you want to get your trash empty again run 'ALT+F2' then
Code: Select all
gksudo nautilus

browse to the '/home/username/.local/share/Trash/files (replacing 'username' with yours) and just delete whats in there. It worked for me.

---btw, I think a more direct way for you to empty it from terminal would be:
Code: Select all
sudo rm -r /home/username/.local/share/Trash/files/*

Give that a shot and see what happens. <BREW>
