Jim can try the following in the .Trash directory:
rm .*
This should remove the .directory entry. A plain * will not remove this entry for some reason. AND HE SHOULD NOT USE rm -rf .*. This will clean out the directory that Trash exists in, including any subdirectories (hope you have a good backup!)
