Trash bin not working?

When I try to send something to the Trash Bin either by dragging the file to the Bin or Command+Delete it's telling me:

Are you sure you want to delete “Insert File Name”?
This item will be deleted immediately. You can’t undo this action.

Things are being deleted automatically rather then being sent to the Trash Bin and its very annoying.
I'm on Mac OS Snow Leopard

Help?
Thanks

EDIT: Nevermind, Force Quit Finder and it fixed itself.

That normally only happens for files on remote volumes that don't support the .Trashes directory. Finder has to delete the files "immediately" because it has no place to put the files for temporary storage.
