I agree you want to avoid all involved processes in a script to see
negative caches.
And perhaps add a kdestroy switch that just remove negative entries ?
This would make it possible for admins to deal with bad negative entries
during administrative tasks without having to throw away the ccache
entirely.

Simo.
