Okay, the original cases described seem okay:

1.  
 $ ./xdg-mime query filetype foo.bar
 Error:  You must specify an existing file.

2.  
 $ touch foo.bar
 $ ./xdg-mime query filetype foo.bar
 application/x-zerosize

3.
 # chmod 000 foo.bar
 $ ./xdg-mime query filetype foo.bar
 application/x-zerosize

However, according to the man page, xdg-mime also supports a 'default'
parameter, and this seems to be misbehaving:

 $ rm foo.bar
 $ ./xdg-mime query default foo.bar
 Error:  You must specify an existing file.

 $ touch foo.bar
 $ ./xdg-mime query default foo.bar
 basename: missing operand
 Try `basename --help' for more information.

 $ file foo.bar
 foo.bar: empty

But it seems okay with valid file content:

 $ echo 'hello world' > foo.bar 
 $ file foo.bar 
 $ ./xdg-mime query default foo.bar
 kwrite.desktop
 $ file foo.bar 
 foo.bar: ASCII text
