I have a similar problem (Bug #230105, sorry for the duplicate)

Now my etc/fstab contains as follows:
----
/dev/sda4 /data vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
----
While in etc/group:
-----
plugdev:x:46:haldaemon,mat,root
...
mat:x:1000:
----
(mat is me)

If I change the gid to 1000, what will happen to haldaemon? Will the system automount the partition in any case?

Anyway, trashing should work also with the gid=46 and implicit uid=0: infact if a file X is owned by user Y and is in a directory owned again by user Y BUT the permissions are such that an user Z can read & write access it, then Z should be able to delete the file X and the file should go to the Z user trash directory on the same partition.
I assumed that every user has an own trash directory in every partition on which he/she/it has write-access.
This is (I think) the case, so WHY doesn't it work?
