64-bit Karmic alpha 3 with all updates applied, on my 2nd-gen MacBook. I have an external hard disk attached via USB. I select any file on that hard disk in nautilus and select "Delete". The computer gives me a dialog (screenshot attached). I select "Delete". The files stay where they are and can't be deleted from within the file browser.
So I opened a terminal and did sudo rm -r * on the external hard disk - no problems.

Thanks for the report, which type of filesystem do you have in the external hard disk? could you delete those with gvfs-rm ?
