Start up from an bootable cd. Then delete the trash. Should work, I have resolved a similar problem this way in the past.
hope that helps,

If you’re a admin user of that computer you can type this in the terminal but be very careful and make sure you don’t make a typo since this command will use administrator privileges to delete everything if you’re not careful.

sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*

It will prompt you for your password.
