I have been happy with my DNS-325, have firmware 1.02, and a single volume, RAID 1 configuration that the whole family shares over the local network. 

I followed the instructions at http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=42071.0to activate a recycle bin, yet it never shows up.  Yes, the check box is checked.   I even tried unchecking it, and then saving that configuration, logging off, then logging back on, going in and checking the recycle bin checkbox, and saving that configuration.  All without success.

Any ideas what else to try?

the recycle bin used to work fine with firmware 1.01
i am having the same problem as yours after the firmware upgrade to 1.02
contacted d link support, so far no reply!

How about after a reboot?  I don't have it enabled yet but just a though?  I'm in the process of copying my data onto my 325 running in Raid 1.  I'll give it a try too.

I followed the instructions and the recycle bin only shows up as a volume you can map a drive to, even after a reboot.  I tried it and it works, but I can not see it in as a volume the GUI.  HTH.

I followed the a/m procedure with firmware 1.02, using Volume_2 as share folder, selecting "Recycle" on last window of the wizard, it creates a new share (named "Recycle Bin - Volume 2") that I can see under Windows but not on GUI management page. I've deleted one file on Volume_2, and this file now is under "Recycle_bin - Volume 2". I also used app "BitKinex" to access NAS via WEBDAV, under folder "/webdav/Volume_2/recycle" I see some folders (the same subfolders included in Volume_2), inside a subfolder I see the deleted file.

I also followed the procedure inside DNS-325 manual 1.10 (page 109) using "D-Link Storage Utility" and I mapped the recycle bin folder "Recycle Bin - Volume 2" on drive Z, and now drive Z is linked with a/m recycle bin folder. So I tested again to delete the same file, but the file is not on Z drive. I disconnected the mapped drive under Windows and reconnected again under Windows. Now the file is under Z drive.

Now the problem is to restore the deleted file. I did it manually (with cut and paste), but there is not a restore option (and I don't know where to find it!!!). I tried under NAS integrated apps (web file server and ajaxplorer) but there is nothing to do. So I presume the NAS recycle bin is not the same as Windows recycle bin (in this case we can easily restore the deleted file). My question is: what is the usage of NAS recycle bin? ;-).

Even with the Recycle bin's shortcomings (won't show up in the GUI, no restore, and you have to enable it) I think it's a very useful feature.  I'm not sure how common it is for NAS setup but very useful.  It takes my concerns about deleting files from a traditional raid setup away.
