Error theorists believe that when people say "Murder is wrong", those people are actually trying to claim that it is a fact that murder has the property of being wrong. However, those people are incorrect (error theorists think) because Murder does not have the property of being wrong - because nothing has the property of being wrong.
It's not about whether or not there are buckets - error theory just says that most people think there is stuff in buckets, but they're incorrect.
I smell a peculiar odour of inconsistency.
(That means, add some modifier, as "morally", to the second "wrong", else it sounds really weird.)
