Feb 25, 2014 9:47 AM in response to ODogby jamiewindsor,Copy and paste this (exaclty as it is):
do shell script "chown " & (do shell script "echo $UID") & " ~/.Trash" with administrator privileges
do shell script "chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash"
And hit Run. Should sort it.

Dec 19, 2014 11:59 AM in response to jamiewindsorby SHampton,Hi Jamie. I get the same message also when I try to create, move, or copy a folder. I ran your script in Script Editor as it is called on my computer (not Apple Script Editor) and it didn't change a thing. Do I need to reboot? Thanks in advance for your help.

Mar 26, 2015 9:21 PM in response to jamiewindsorby Lord Immortallix,So I did this and it worked, but now the "are you sure you want to empty the trash, yes or no" dialogue doesn't come up, and I'm not sure that the files are actually being deleted every time.

May 7, 2015 6:54 AM in response to JeffTby GoldMiner,Posting here just in case it may help someone in same situation.
Running Yosemite on an older 2007 MBP.
Had exactly the same problem.
Tried first jamiewindsor's code, restarted. Didn't change a thing.
Booted from the recovery partition and repaired permissions. Again, didn't help.
What worked in my case was a "simple" reassigning read & write permissions (which were already "read & write") and hitting "Apply to enclosed items" (need to get away from the computer, takes A LOT of time).
Restarted (didn't try without) and everything is fine now.
