Move to Trash - This item will be deleted immediately?

Suddenly starting today I've started to get the message "this item will be deleted immediately" when I move anything from any folder to the trash.

Anyone know how to return to normal behavior and/or causes of the problem?

iMac 24", Mac OS X (10.6.2), Bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse

Have tried this several times and still can't get trash to work properly. Only have this problem with my iMac running 10.6.4. Am I missing something? I copied and pasted the commands from Niel's post and I never got a prompt for my administrator password
