If you use just the <delete> key, digikam tries to move the images (and
associated sidecar files) to a private trash directory.
It looks as if that directory doesn't exist on your system (permission
problem?), or that you/digikam don't have write permission for it (not
unlikely with a NAS).
As the same sourcecode for digikam has to run on different operating systems,
using the system trashcan wasn't feasible (too many differences between OSs),
so it uses a private trashcan.
But if you are *sure* that you want to get rid of the selected images,
<shift>+<del> permanently deletes them without passing through trash. Keep in
mind that this operation is irreversible, gone is gone.
