Create a symbolic link which targets a directory. Now invoke FileUtils.moveToTrash on this link. The link will remain, but the target will be deleted.

moveToTrash uses FSPathMoveObjectToTrashSync to do its work, for which this link suggests both the problem and possible solution. It makes use of FSPathMakeRefWithOptions which appears to be deprecated in OSX 10.8.
