I don't know if it's intentional or not, but trash (unlike rm) exits with a non-zero error code for non-existent files when using it with the -f flag.

The man-page for rm says the following for the -f-flag:

If the file does not exist, do not display a diagnostic message or modify the exit status to reflect an error.

Example:

$ rm -f imaginary-file && echo "done"
done
$ trash -f imaginary-file && echo "done"
trash: imaginary-file: path does not exist

This is indeed problematic!
