When I try this, I see the following message regardless of verbosity:
IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion

That would be a good enhancement request. Each directory in the file list
could have a flag indicating whether files might be missing from it; for even
finer granularity, individual inaccessible files could be represented by
specially marked file-list entries.
