It was directly under the root directory: /.Trash-01.
Checking my notes, I found an explanation by forum guru
smurphos of how this is
supposed to work. He
says, "In external mounts if you delete files on that mount to trash, gvfs will try and create a .Trash-100x folder on the external mount (the 100x being your UserID) to hold trash files from that mount." In that thread, the user had a problem with ownership of the mount point, but the symptoms were different. The hypothesis that your problem may have been due to removing the drive prematurely sounds plausible, but of course there's no way to be certain.
Anyhoo, thanks for following up. Have added this thread to the same notes from which I quoted
smurphos.
