Error 8062 when emptying trash

I am running an Xserve box with OS X Server v. 10.2.4. Connected to the rear firewire connections are two external firewire hard drives to which I back up. I'm logged in as System Administrator.

I have trashed many (thousands) of files from each of the external hard drives. When I try to empty the trash, the dialogue box indicates it's counting the files, gets to a very high number (e.g., 20,000), then gives the following error message: "Sorry, operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)".

If I log on as another user (with administrator privileges), the trash is empty.

Can anyone offer any insights, explanations, or suggestions?
