Can' get that to work here. There may be 2 causes:

    - Unusual mountpoint: /private/var/automount/Network/Applications
    - Unusual UID: my UID is (for historical reasons) 101, which  
under newer versions of OS X is reserved (user UIDs start with 501)

/private/var/automount/Network/Applications/.Trashes did exist, I  
created a 101 folder underneath with permissions drwx------, also  
tried drwxrwxrwx. Didn't seem to make a difference.
