- Improved the error-checking for some delete_item() calls.

- Move the non-regular-file delete-check above the alt-basis check
  where it belongs.
- Keep track of the real statret and real stat-struct for certain
  alt-basis scenarios (e.g. partial-dir and fuzzy) so that we send
  the right itemized change flags.
