A partial fix

My version of the quick-fix that only deals with removing a device/file/symlink
that's in the way of a device or symlink.  It also fixes a couple problems in
the logic in the code for backing up a device or a symlink.

I didn't see any reason to constrain the prior object backed up to being
another device when backing up a device, so my code just tries to get rid of
anything that's in the way.  It will still fail for dir/non-dir mismatches, but
that's a deeper problem that has been around for a very long time.
