This is still an issue with oneiric (gvfs 1.10.0-0ubuntu1), and I would say a serious one. I use a large ext4 partiton for storing multimedia files. When I delete a file via gvfs (thunar, gvfs-trash ...) it will be moved to PARTITION-ROOT/.Trash-$USERID (as it should), but it does not show up in my trash-bin. That means it will not be deleted when emptying the trash. So, if you don't delete those files manually your free disk space keeps shrinking until you completely filled up your partition.

Steps to reproduce:
1. create file in a directory which is on a different partition then $HOME
2. gvfs-trash the file (be sure to have write permission on the partitions root directory)
3. gvfs-ls trash:// does not show it

Btw. list-trash/empty-trash from the trash-cli package lists and empties the trash correctly.
