Title:
  File couldn't be moved to  trash: Invalid link across device
  boundaries

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in nemo package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in thunar package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1) Xubuntu 15.10 beta 1

  2) Thunar 1.6.10

  3) Dragging in Thunar an external folder (like "/media/user/mountxy" for example) to one's home folder creates a linked folder (or is it called: folder link?). 
  Now inside this linked folder I try to use Thunar's right-click "delete file" menu. It's the "delete to trash" entry.
  When the file is in some sub-folder of the linked folder, everything works.
  When file is in the linked folder's root however, Thunar gives the following error:

  4) Thunar complains (roughly translated to English from my localised
  Thunar) :

  »File couldn't be moved to trash.
  Invalid link across device boundaries.«

  (In localised language the message says so:
  »Datei konnte nicht in den Papierkorb verschoben werden.
  Ungültiger Link über Gerätegrenzen hinweg.« )

  P.S. When in this linked folder's root I delete the file without the
  trash-option, i.e. the "delete forever" menu entry, it works.
