This happens every now and then. Eelco should tell us what to do.

The last time I was involved in a procedure, it was a mixture of removing the
path, running "nix-store --verify", creating the path without content (mkdir),
and running again "nix-store --verify".

I think nix should start having test cases about this situation, because I think
it always worked not as Eelco expected. :) But I may be wrong.
