I recently had a similar experience. On OS X once you trash the trash its pretty much trashed, so to speak. OS 9 was a bit more forgiving. Part of the problem is once you empty trash OS X starts to reuse the freed HD data blocks from what I can gather based on my reading on the net. There are some utilities available however recovery is not so good even with those.
