This sounds a lot like this NetBSD problem with Gnome Trash:

There is a bug report, and a proposed patch, but not for AFS.
Ading AFS could be trivial:

Hello everyone,

I'm still facing a weird problem with Gnome and OpenAFS. When interacting with the GUI and deleting some items, gnome puts them in a .Trash directory:

milicchio:milicchio$ ls -lad .Trash
drwx------  3 milicchio diaafs 4096 Jul 14 09:13 .Trash/

Unfortunately this directory is shown *always* empty when opening the trashcan from the Gnome GUI, even if it contains files and directories, and of course has the right ACLs inherited by the container volume:

milicchio:milicchio$ ls -la .Trash
total 13
drwx------   3 milicchio diaafs 4096 Jul 14 09:13 ./
drwxrwxrwx  59 milicchio diaafs 6144 Jul 14 09:22 ../
drwxr-xr-x   2 milicchio diaafs 2048 Jul  3 11:36 simple_extension/
-rw-r--r--   1 milicchio diaafs  873 Jul  3 11:30  simple_extension.tar.gz

milicchio:milicchio$ fs la .Trash
Access list for .Trash is
Normal rights:
  system:backup rl
  system:administrators rlidwka
  system:anyuser l
  milicchio rlidwka


This bug seems to affect all gnome systems (any distribution) with users under AFS, since local users in /home do not experience any trouble and find their deleted files in the trash.

Is anyone aware of any workaround? Users keep filling up immediately their quotas...


PS. Removing gnome is not a workaround :)
