Cant trash files from Thunar on mounted nfs-share

RESOLVED: WORKSFORME

Hi,
I use the skolelinux edition of debian Wheezy with xfce desktop and have a strange problem with trash. The users has access to a nfs share symlinced into there homefolder. When trashing files from that share I get the error "Could not trash file,  Invalid cross-device link" (translated from swedish). 
But "strace trash file 2>&1 | grep Trash works nicely.
The deleted files even shows up in the desktop-waste bin and can be emptied from there (and the files in the mounted share root dir .Trash-uid/files are removed.)

How can I trace what is going wrong when trashing from thunar, since it works with trash command from cli? Thunar most work somewhat correctly since the files shows up in waste bin when trashed using cli, and can be emptied from there via Trash bin desktop (right click, Empty trash can).

 It's a multiuser system, using kdm (long story) as windowmanager and xfce as desktop.
Its based on wheezy stable.

Sorry, kdm as display manager, not window manager.

Im having this difficultly with removing very large files 4GB using Thunar with Petra Mint16.
Linux Aspire-Petra16 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thunar is connected to my headless media-share DSL320 by D-link. I don't have acesss to upgrade the software on the media server.

When I try to remove very large .iso files thunar1.6.3 forks.

Work around is to use the media server web interface-Ajax and remove the files through a web-browser. The other alternative is to format the disk.

PS. I'm using Samba4 to establish the link no CIFS.

Sorry for the very late reply. Is it still an issue ?

Could you please try if the same happens with Nautilus ? ( Possibly a gvfs issue, since Thunar and Nautilus both use gvfs for Network shares )

Cannot reproduce, possibly got fixed meanwhile, possibly a gvfs issue.

If it still is a problem, please feel free to reopen !
