Cannot trash regular file

[ashwin]

trash-put gives this error when I try to trash a file /blah/some-non-home-path/foobar:

trash-put: cannot trash regular file `foobar'

For files which do not have $HOME as their parent directory, can trash-put be modified to use $HOME always to find the Trash directory?

Do you have the permissions of moving that file?

[ashwin]

@andreafrancia Yes. I have permissions to move the file. This is easy to try. Mount a FAT or NTFS partition. Try to trash-put a file on it. It gives this error. This error also occurs with files on distributed filesystems like AFS.
