 it's mounted in the filesystem as /media/toshiba and there it works as
 expected (i.e.: <del> working and autorefresh working).

 So this is definitly a TDE problem. Is there a way to get rid of
 "system:/media/" and just use the real mountpoint instead?

 Ok I just checked out all the media* options and delete appears in all of 
 them. What distro are you using. Try using a live CD and see what happens.  
 Which mount helper do you use? I have udisks2 here. I think I did not see  that
problem when I had pmount (but that had a different set of problems 
which I dislike more than that missing <del>.
