Maybe look at it the way that rhythmbox does it, basically creating a
'missing files' playlist that lists the files.  The user can then choose
to delete/clear the list, at which point the plugin would remove all the
files.  If it is a temporary error the user would just leave it and when
it runs the next time it'll re-check on startup and if the files are
back, all stays as normal.

Not sure how well the plugin architecture of banshee would allow for
that, but that'd be my take on it.
