OK, Aragorn might not have known what Gandalf's plan was, but he assumed that he would stay with the ring-bearer because Aragorn's plan had always been to return to Minas Tirith with Boromir, which he would not have done had Frodo not buggered off.
AND BTW!!!!!!! Unless I SAY I am talking about the MOVIES, I am talking about the BOOKS. The movies, while enjoyable, cannot be considered as any evidence whatsoever when discussing arcane geekdom as we are.

I don't recall the movie well enough to be sure, but I expect this is incorrect. In the book, Aragorn didn't know what Gandalf's plan was - from the LotR, Book II, Chapter 8, Farewell to Lorien:
"We have not decided out course," said Aragorn. "Beyond Lothlorien I do not know what Gandalf indended to do. Indeed I do not think that even he had any clear purpose."
