This is basically an astonishing (not to mention ashamed) revist back to good old english grammar basics.
All these days whenever I had to use the plural form of 'bucketful' or 'cupful' i would actually go ahead and say "bucketsful and cupsful" but apparently it isnt the correct usage ... you would need to use 'bucketfuls' and 'cupfuls' instead...
The word 'bucketful' is actually a compund noun and in all such cases you would have to include an's' at the end of the complete compounded word not in the middle.
And i was under the impression that guessing plurals of singular objects would be childs play
