I don't think that it's a bug in the test script in the way that it
should touch the files. The test are named "create (non-existent
disk)" and "replace (non-existent disk)". I think the are meant to
work with non-existent files.

As I think of it, I'm not sure whether or not this two tests cases
should be there at all.

Is there a real use case with non-existent files that this two test
cover? If not then we could back to 'true' and remove this two test
cases.
