I have no idea why they do not get deleted while everything else around it gets deleted. There is no error message displayed (no pop ups anyway). A user applet should not be able to syslog, so I didn't check /var/log for anything. Since I can delete them from the terminal from my user account (no need to sudo), it's not a permission problem.
It may be due to the fact that I use /.Trash-1000/ for my trash directory. I have a couple of different partitions I use, and I believe I needed to do this to be able to have the trash can work for non-home partitions. So for a test, I created _underline_file_from_Desktop.txt on my Desktop (home partition), _underline_file.txt and deleteme.txt in a non-home partition. Deleting them all in Nautilus will display all three in Trash. Clicking Empty Trash button, two files are erased; however, _underline_file.txt remains in the Trash. No errors occur. I suspect it has something to do with the leading "_" in the file name to be emptied.

[Empty Trash] button is clicked at this point.
