I have Aperture set up to reference my photos on my NAS – the library file is on my MacBook Air. However, when I try to delete photos, I get what I believe to be a permissions error:
“Some referenced original files cannot be moved to the System Trash, and will remain in their current locations:
• You don’t have access to the System Trash on the original files’ volume.
Other original files will be moved to the System Trash as specified.”
As seen here: http://cl.ly/image/472k192b2L2j
Aperture seems to want to move these files to a “System Trash” on the actual FreeNAS, but Aperture doesn’t have write permissions.
Firstly, I can’t give it write permissions because at no point does it ask for me to authenticate. Secondly, I don’t really need it to move to a “System Trash” on the FreeNAS. When I’m deleting photos from the Aperture trash, I want them gone for good!
If anybody has run into this problem before and found a solution, it’d be greatly appreciated. Currently I have to locate photos in Finder to actually delete them from the NAS and from the Aperture library.
Oliver,
Sounds like your reasoning is right, and no there’s no way to tell Aperture to immediately delete — it will always (try to) move the images to the System Trash.
How is your NAS formatted? It should be Mac OS X Extended to be fully Aperture compatible. Read this FAQ entry for some more info on using a NAS with Aperture.

Thanks for your reply, Joseph. That’s a bummer.
My NAS is formatted as ZFS (I think). I’m accessing it as an AppleShare (AFP).
Turns out, a few others have had the same problem: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2735205?start=0&tstart=0
