I suggest you change the close code to...

Code:
#ifdef TEST_CLOSE_FAILED
         rc=-1;
         errno=EIO;
#else
         rc=close(fd);
#endif
However, an alternative would be to put this file on it's own partition then force a dismount of that partition, effectively simulating the loss of access to the storage media.
