Problems with trash and partitions

[protist]

I've got an SSD and (spindle) HDD, and several partitions on my computer. The SDD contains / and /home, and the HDD contains /home/protist/HDD (via fstab). The HDD also contains /home/protist/.local/share/Trash via symlinks. I can trash files perfectly if they reside within /home/protist/HDD, but cannot trash files that are directly in /home/protist.

$ touch ~/temp
$ trash ~/temp 
trash: cannot trash regular empty file `temp'

I've tried creating directories at /.Trash and ~/.Trash, but that did not help.

Please provide the output of the following commands and reopen this issue:

$ mount
$ ls -lad /
$ ls -lad /home/
$ ls -lad /home/protist/
$ ls -lad /home/protist/HDD
$ ls -lad /home/protist/.local/share/Trash

I don't think I can reopen the thread without admin rights to the repo.

The problem is this link:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 protist protist 49 Dec 18 19:39 /home/protist/.local/share/Trash -> /HDD/protist/.SDDsymlinks/home/protist/.local/share/Trash

trash-cli does not support/address moving file across partitions for bringing them to the trash can.

Okay. I thought that this might have been the problem (hence the title). Thank you for the response.

I've just installed Arch on my computer, and now I'm running into the opposite of this bug! Again, I have my trash on HDD, and my home on SDD. This time, I can only trash files that are on the SDD! As you can see below, I can trash okay if I specify a full path, or a relative path in some cases.
