Part of the confusion may be the 'destination' parameter that
-[NSWorkspace performFileOperation:source:destination:files:tag:]
takes?
The recycle operation doesn't use the destination parameter. It
calculates the correct trash directory for you. The docs note that
not all operations use the destination, but it could probably be
clearer.
"Some operations—such as moving, copying, and linking files—require a
destination directory to be specified. If not, destination should be
the empty string (@"")."
