Don't you want lstat() there?  Also, I think *stat() is guaranteed to
fill in all of sb if it returns anything other than an error, so the
memset() may be redundant.

I sort of wonder whether just unlink()ing the destination prior to
calling mknod would be a simpler and more robust way of fixing this
problem.

Also, on a tangential note, you seemed to have rather a surfeit of
signed-off-by lines in your email.
