Bug Description

when I trash files via trash-cli, on a mounted volume, the trash files go to the wrong location, so that they're not found in the system trash.

for example, I have a volume called /media/myuser/myvolume, which maps /dev/sdb1.
my home is under /home/myuser, whose root maps /dev/sda1.

when I trash files in myvolume, trash-cli creates /media/myuser/myvolume/.Trash. files located in such folder are not recognized by the system Trash.

This is a bug in Gvfs (which is used for the "system trash"), not in trash-cli (which does the right thing according to the XDG spec).
