I've had this behaviour for years and years. I just thought it was  
part of using NFS. Following this thread I looked at ~/.Trashes and  
discovered is was a dead sym link. I removing this and finder  
preferences, then restarted finder. Trying to trash a file still gave  
me the "delete immediately" box, but now finder has also recreated the  
~/.Trash folder. Obviously it thinks this is where to put it, it can  
create the folder, but it won't put things into it!

Associately with a trashing failure, I also get a console message:

Apr  3 11:14:47 xxxxxxxx com.apple.launchd[145]  
(0x110b90.Locum[44292]): Exited: Terminated

Hope this rings a bell with someone.
