Looking in that folder on my system, I see two folders beneath it:
- "files", containing .ARW and .XMP files
- "info", containing .dtrashinfo files, one for each file in the "files" 
directory.

Could it be that in your case, the "info" directory is empty?

I'd expect the presence of the "info" directory and .dtrashinfo files to cause 
problems if you make .dtrash a link to the KDE trash folder (either the 
"dtrash" could (appear to) be corrupted after emptying the KDE trash or KDE 
trash could show strange behaviour due to the ".dtrash" elements present)
