Trashbin is not recycled

Hi.

Our disks are getting full and I have found that it is the trashbin that is
getting full.

I've tried
dfs -expunge but it does not clean the /user/hadoop/.Trash

I have lowered the fs.trash.interval on the namenode and restarted it.
<property>
  <name>fs.trash.interval</name>
  <value>1440</value>
  <description>Number of minutes between trash checkpoints.
  If zero, the trash feature is disabled.
  </description>
</property>

Ideas ? We use hadoop-0.18.3

Cheers

..dfs -rmr -skipTrash /user/hadoop/.Trash
recreates .Trash, on consecutive rmr...-skipTrash can be used generally if you don't want a backup of deletes, here only to illustrate..
