If it is decided that removing a non-existant map is an error (I guess
the opposite is the consensus), if one of many steps returns an error,
the overall result should reflect that.
I had been considering the vector (and future raster) case where either
the map dir exists or it doesn't. I see now that the multi-element
raster is a more difficult case to summarize in a single return value.
