I've always assumed that the ability to remove traps is the same as the ability to detect them in the first place, i.e., once detected I've never had a problem being able to disarm them.
It sounds like you're only detecting them (they turn red) but not following through with disarming them, as NiceWorg suggested. Once the trap appears, activate the thieving button (the thief's mask that is also used to pick locks and cut purses). Then place the cursor over the trap and the cursor will take the shape of a wheel; click on the trap with the wheel and the trap will be disarmed.
