Yes, I understand that. Thats why trying .Trash/$uid/ and .Trash_$uid 
first is good, to cover the most cases. Only the first time or when uid 
changed or when accesing a net share with different uids the time 
consuming way is needed. Rename is good to prevent it from being needed 
again. Only on a network share frekvently accesed from different uids 
this need to be a common operation. But it do complicate implementations :-(

Anb in case we dont have read permissions on .Trash it is a problem.
