Just to be asking since there isn't enough info in your query, did you have Wi-Fi turned on, with both devices?

Interesting reading, thanks. One thing I forgot to mention. I had used Oynx recently and turned on visibility for hidden files, so I was seeing various hidden files in the trash as well. I wonder if that made any difference. We use Crash Plan for backup so TM is not involved as suggested in some of the Apple discussion posts.

A quick scan through the first page didn't show any definite revelations about the cause, but you definitely aren't alone!

UPDATE
I restarted. Still the same error. Then I went in and manually deleted several files. Then I tried the empty trash menu item again and it worked.
Go figure. I'd still like to know if anyone knows why this occurs.
