OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/.local'

This error happens when some users try to sync media sometimes. I don't know if it's tied to specific data in their collections, but it does usually happen several times in a row - and then doesn't happen again for a while.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I suspect this might have to do with an os.chdir() in the media sync'ing code which is a totally dangerous thing to do in a multithreading application - but I haven't had a chance to test that theory.

Overall, I don't think we need the 'send2trash' functionality on the server, so that can probably be removed all together.
