The last time I looked for for a way to make the difference between a
permission error and a pending deletion status, I bumped into the
following tool PendMove:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897556.aspx

Well, it is not useful in itself, but, as my colleague Nikhil
Deshpande has pointed out, it becomes more interesting if combined
with ProcessExplorer to see what system calls it does:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx
This may allow us to find a way what are the system APIs called to
make the difference and then use them.

I don't make a priority of this item, but, Takatsuka-san, that's an
idea to dig for I think.
